About
Rosuvastatin 5mg/Fenofibrate is a combination medication specifically designed to manage mixed dyslipidemia, particularly in adult patients who require simultaneous reduction of both elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Rosuvastatin, a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin), effectively lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol, and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), while also providing a modest increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Fenofibrate, a fibric acid derivative, primarily targets and significantly reduces elevated triglycerides and increases HDL-C by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα). This synergistic action provides a comprehensive and effective approach to improving overall lipid profiles and reducing the associated cardiovascular risk in patients with complex lipid abnormalities.
