Medicinal Benefits

Novator F Tab taken with dietary measures helps in the treatment of high cholesterol and prevention of life-threatening conditions to the heart, especially for heart patients when initial dietary measures fail to lower cholesterol. It helps in lowering the bad cholesterol (LDL) and increases the level of good cholesterol (HDL) in the state of dyslipidemia or hyperlipidemia. Novator F Tab also lowers the amount of fat or cholesterol deposition (plaque) in the arteries of the heart thereby reducing the chance of having a heart attack or stroke in the future.

About Novator F Tab

Novator F Tab belongs to the class of medicines called antilipemic (lipid-lowering medicines) primarily used in the treatment of high lipid levels (cholesterol and triglycerides levels) and prevention of heart diseases and blood vessel blockage. Hyperlipidemia or hypertriglyceridemia is a condition in which there is a high level of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) or bad cholesterol and a decreased level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol. Increased level of bad cholesterol leads to a high risk of heart attack and stroke in the future, especially in patients with heart disease. 

Novator F Tab is composed of two medicines, namely: Atorvastatin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) and Fenofibrate (fibrates). Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase required to make cholesterol in the body. As a result, it lowers the bad cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins or LDL), and triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Fenofibrate is another lipid-lowering agent which works by increasing the natural substance (lipoprotein lipase) that breaks down fats in the bloodstream thereby increasing its utilization and removal. As a result, it decreases harmful cholesterol like LDL (bad cholesterol), and triglycerides (TG) and increases levels of HDL (good cholesterol). 

Take Novator F Tab as prescribed. Your doctor will advise how often you take Novator F Tab based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience allergic reactions, hyperglycemia (excess of glucose in the bloodstream), headache, blurred vision, stomach pain, constipation, headaches, joint swelling (edema), joint pain, muscle pain, back pain, slow heart rate, and nausea. Most of these side effects of Novator F Tab do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

If you are allergic to Novator F Tab or any component present in it namely atorvastatin or fenofibrate, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have hypothyroidism, drink more than 2 servings of alcohol per day, and have a muscle disorder (fibromyalgia) it is advised to inform your doctor before using Novator F Tab. Novator F Tab is not recommended for children below  12 years of age, as the safety and effectiveness were not established. If you experience yellowing of the skin (Jaundice), allergic reaction, cramps, or muscle weakness then immediately contact your doctor.
