ATOVASTRIN EZ F is a triple-action lipid-lowering formulation combining Atorvastatin Calcium, Fenofibrate, and Ezetimibe. This powerful combination is designed for individuals with mixed dyslipidemia, elevated LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and low HDL levels. By targeting different pathways of lipid metabolism, ATOVASTRIN EZ F offers comprehensive cardiovascular protection, making it ideal for patients at high risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack, or stroke. Key Ingredients Atorvastatin Calcium (10 mg): A well-known statin that reduces LDL (bad cholesterol) and total cholesterol by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. Fenofibrate (160 mg): A fibrate class agent that significantly lowers triglycerides and helps raise HDL (good cholesterol) by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR-α). Ezetimibe IP (10 mg): A cholesterol absorption inhibitor that reduces intestinal uptake of cholesterol without affecting the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, complementing the action of statins. Key Benefits Provides triple action lipid control in one tablet Reduces LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides Increases HDL cholesterol for improved heart health Minimizes plaque buildup in arteries and reduces cardiovascular risk Suitable for patients with mixed dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome Aids in the prevention of coronary artery disease, stroke, and related complications Convenient once-daily formulation for improved patient compliance How Does It Work? ATOVASTRIN EZ F works by targeting multiple pathways of cholesterol and lipid metabolism: Atorvastatin inhibits the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, reducing cholesterol synthesis in the liver and enhancing the clearance of LDL cholesterol from the blood. Fenofibrate activates PPAR-α receptors, which increase the breakdown and elimination of triglyceride-rich particles and raise HDL cholesterol. Ezetimibe works at the intestinal level by blocking cholesterol absorption at the brush border of the small intestine, leading to reduced delivery of cholesterol to the liver. This multi-mechanistic approach ensures optimal lipid control and significantly reduces the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events. Directions for Use Take ATOVASTRIN EZ F exactly as prescribed by your physician. Usually taken once daily, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water — do not crush or chew. It is best taken at the same time every day for consistent results. Follow a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet as advised by your doctor. Regular lipid profile monitoring is recommended during therapy. Do not skip doses or stop the medication without medical supervision. Side Effects Common Side Effects: Muscle pain or weakness Headache Nausea or stomach upset Diarrhea or indigestion Elevated liver enzymes (in some cases) Serious Side Effects (Rare): Rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle breakdown) Liver dysfunction or hepatitis Gallstones (due to fenofibrate) Pancreatitis Hypersensitivity reactions such as rash, swelling, or breathing difficulty Seek immediate medical attention if you experience persistent muscle pain, dark-colored urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of a severe allergic reaction.
