How it Works
AFF 10mg/160mg/5mg Tablet is a combination of two lipid-lowering medicines (Atorvastatin, Fenofibrate) and a vitamin (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 both raise the levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL). Folic Acid reduces the levels of a harmful substance (homocysteine), thereby decreasing cholesterol synthesis.
