FAQs

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.

When you have more than your body requirements, cholesterol can result in plaque to build-up in your blood vessels. This thick, hard plaque can block your arteries like a blocked pipe. Decreased blood flow can cause heart attack and stroke.

Take the missed dose as soon as possible, or skip to the next dose if it's been too late. Never try to take a double dose to make up for the missed dose.
