A fibrate drug that helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood, particularly triglycerides.
A statin drug that blocks the production of cholesterol in the liver, leading to a reduction in overall cholesterol levels.
High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia): This combination is used to lower elevated levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad' cholesterol), triglycerides, and to increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ('good' cholesterol) in patients who have not achieved desired results with diet and exercise alone.
Mixed dyslipidemia: This combination is used to treat a condition where both high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol levels are present.
0 Fenofibric Acid: Works by activating a protein called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα). This activation leads to increased breakdown of triglycerides and reduced production of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol.1 Rosuvastatin: Inhibits an enzyme in the liver called HMG-CoA reductase, which is responsible for cholesterol synthesis. This reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver, ultimately lowering cholesterol levels in the blood.
