Razel-F10 Forte Tablet

Introduction

Razel-F10 Forte Tablet is a combination medication primarily used to manage hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It contains two active ingredients: Rosuvastatin and Fenofibrate. Rosuvastatin is a statin that helps lower cholesterol levels, while Fenofibrate helps to reduce triglyceride levels and increase good cholesterol (HDL). This combination provides an effective approach to lowering both cholesterol and triglyceride levels, thus promoting heart health and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular complications.

Uses of Razel-F10 Forte Tablet

Razel-F10 Forte Tablet is used for:

• Lowering cholesterol levels in patients with hyperlipidemia
• Reducing triglyceride levels and increasing good cholesterol (HDL)
• Preventing cardiovascular diseases in patients at high risk
• Managing atherosclerosis and improving overall heart health

How Razel-F10 Forte Tablet Works

Razel-F10 Forte Tablet works through the combined action of its two active ingredients. Rosuvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver, effectively lowering levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and total cholesterol. Fenofibrate, on the other hand, activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), which help to lower triglyceride levels, increase HDL (good cholesterol), and reduce the risk of plaque formation in arteries. The combination of these effects results in better lipid control and reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases.
