ABOUT ADVASTAT-F-TABLET

ADVASTAT F TABLET is a combination of Rosuvastatin and Fenofibrate which belongs to the group of medicines called Hypolipidemic drugs. It is used to treat hyperlipidemia (high blood lipid levels) in addition to proper diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Hyperlipidemia is a condition characterized by increased levels of bad cholesterol and triglycerides (fats) in the blood. If left untreated, these fat particles get deposited in the blood vessels and may obstruct blood flow through them, leading to various complications such as heart attack or stroke. By reducing lipid levels in the blood, ADVASTAT F TABLET can also be used to prevent the risk of heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis and other circulatory disorders.
