Medicine information
Uses & overview
ATOVASTRIN EZ F by Steris Healthcare brings together three highly effective and complementary lipid-regulating agents: Atorvastatin Calcium (10 mg), Fenofibrate (160 mg), and Ezetimibe (10 mg). Engineered for complex dyscholesterolemia and refractory lipid disorders, this multi-targeted formulation simultaneously inhibits hepatic cholesterol synthesis, prevents intestinal cholesterol absorption, and accelerates triglyceride clearance to restore balanced lipid profiles and protect long-term arterial health. Key Ingredients & Clinical Benefits: Atorvastatin Calcium (10 mg): A potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) that decreases hepatic cholesterol production, significantly lowering Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL "bad" cholesterol) and total cholesterol while stabilizing vascular arterial plaques. Fenofibrate (160 mg): A PPAR-alpha (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha) agonist that activates lipoprotein lipase, significantly reducing serum triglycerides (VLDL) and boosting High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL "good" cholesterol) levels. Ezetimibe IP (10 mg): A selective cholesterol absorption inhibitor that targets the NPC1L1 transporter in the small intestine, blocking the uptake of dietary and biliary cholesterol to lower the overall lipid load delivered to the liver. Key Uses & Clinical Benefits: 3-in-1 Comprehensive Lipid Regulation: Simultaneously lowers bad LDL cholesterol, drastically reduces elevated triglycerides, and raises protective HDL cholesterol levels. Triple-Action Synergy: Targets lipid pathways from three distinct angles—inhibiting internal liver synthesis, blocking external dietary/biliary absorption, and enhancing triglyceride clearance. Manages Severe Mixed Dyslipidemia: Ideal for diabetic dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and patients who do not achieve complete lipid balance on statin monotherapy alone. Advanced Atherosclerosis Protection: Helps prevent the formation and progression of fatty plaque deposits within coronary, carotid, and peripheral blood vessels. Improved Treatment Compliance: Combines three daily lipid-lowering medications into a single, convenient fixed-dose tablet.
How to use
Take 1 tablet of ATOVASTRIN EZ F once daily with or after a main meal (preferably after dinner), or strictly as prescribed by your cardiologist or physician. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet. Taking the medication with food enhances the absorption of Fenofibrate. Maintain a healthy, low-fat diet and regular physical activity during treatment for optimal lipid control.
