ATOVASTRIN EZ F

ATOVASTRIN EZ F is a triple-action lipid-lowering formulation that combines Atorvastatin Calcium, Fenofibrate, and Ezetimibe to provide comprehensive control over abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It is designed for individuals with mixed dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, or those at high risk of cardiovascular diseases. This unique combination helps lower harmful lipids (LDL, triglycerides) and increase protective HDL cholesterol levels, reducing the overall risk of heart attack and stroke.

Key Ingredients:

Atorvastatin Calcium (10 mg):
A statin that reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver, particularly lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) and total cholesterol, while modestly increasing HDL (good cholesterol).

Fenofibrate (160 mg):
A fibrate class drug that primarily targets elevated triglycerides and helps increase HDL levels, making it effective in treating mixed lipid disorders.

Ezetimibe IP (10 mg):
A cholesterol absorption inhibitor that blocks the absorption of dietary and biliary cholesterol in the intestine, helping further reduce total cholesterol and LDL-C.

Key Benefits:

• Triple-action formula for comprehensive lipid control

• Significantly reduces LDL-C, total cholesterol, and triglycerides

• Increases HDL cholesterol to improve heart health

• Helps manage mixed dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic risk

• Reduces the likelihood of cardiovascular complications like heart attack and stroke

• Convenient single-tablet therapy for better patient compliance

How Does It Work?

ATOVASTRIN EZ F works through three complementary mechanisms:

• Atorvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This reduces endogenous cholesterol levels and lowers LDL.

• Fenofibrate activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), increasing the breakdown of triglyceride-rich particles and boosting HDL production.

• Ezetimibe acts at the brush border of the small intestine to inhibit cholesterol absorption, reducing the amount of cholesterol entering the bloodstream from dietary sources.

Together, this combination offers synergistic lipid-lowering effects and improves the overall lipid profile more effectively than monotherapy.

Directions for Use:

• Take ATOVASTRIN EZ F exactly as prescribed by your physician.

• It is usually taken once daily, preferably after a meal.

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew.

• Follow a low-fat, heart-healthy diet and regular exercise plan alongside medication.

• Regular lipid profile monitoring is recommended to track progress.

• Do not skip doses or stop the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor.

Side Effects:

While generally well-tolerated, ATOVASTRIN EZ F may cause the following side effects in some patients:

Common Side Effects:

• Headache

• Muscle pain or weakness

• Abdominal pain or indigestion

• Diarrhea or nausea

• Elevated liver enzymes (detected through lab tests)

Rare but Serious Side Effects:

• Myopathy or rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle damage)

• Pancreatitis

• Liver dysfunction

• Allergic reactions like rash, itching, or swelling

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe muscle pain, dark-colored urine, jaundice, or allergic reactions.
