AFF 10mg/160mg/5mg Tablet

AFF 10mg/160mg/5mg Tablet is a combination of Lipid-lowering agents and Vitamins. It is used to lower the high cholesterol or increased cholesterol levels and triglycerides in the blood when a low-fat diet and lifestyle modifications have failed. High cholesterol is a condition in which you have too many lipids (fats) in your blood. It is also called hyperlipidemia or hypercholesterolemia.

AFF 10mg/160mg/5mg Tablet contains Atorvastatin, Fenofibrate and Folic Acid. Atorvastatin prevents your body from making 'bad' cholesterol (LDL), while Fenofibrate works by lowering the levels of triglycerides in your blood. Additionally, they raise 'good' cholesterol (HDL) levels. Folic Acid reduces the levels of a harmful substance (homocysteine), thereby decreasing cholesterol synthesis.
