Atorsave 10mg Tablet

Atorsave 10mg Tablet contains Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate, which are a dynamic duo in managing cholesterol levels effectively.

Atorvastatin focuses on reducing the production of "bad" cholesterol (LDL), while Fenofibrate targets the lowering of triglyceride levels in the blood. Both medications also contribute to elevating the levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL), collectively working to maintain a healthier balance of cholesterol and supporting overall heart health.

Patients are advised to adhere to their doctor's guidance, taking the medication in the prescribed dose and duration. The medicine can be taken with or without food, but maintaining a consistent daily time is recommended for optimal results.

However, it's crucial to be aware of potential side effects, as both Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate have been associated with the risk of myopathy, a muscle-related condition, including the severe complication of rhabdomyolysis.

Patients should be vigilant for unexplained muscle pain, weakness, or tenderness, promptly reporting any signs of myopathy to their healthcare provider. Additionally, both medications may impact liver function, necessitating periodic monitoring of liver enzymes, especially during the initial months of treatment.

Elevated liver enzymes may require dose adjustments or discontinuation of the medications.

Common side effects may include nausea, stomach pain, constipation, flatulence, headache, muscle pain, increased liver enzymes, and elevated glucose levels in the blood.

In case of a missed dose, patients should take it when remembered. However, if the next dose is imminent, skipping the missed one and adhering to the regular schedule is advisable. Consultation with a doctor is recommended for guidance on managing missed doses effectively.
