Turbovas-F Tablet

Introduction

Turbovas-F Tablet is a combination medication used to manage high cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular diseases. It contains two active ingredients: Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate. This combination helps lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), triglycerides, and raises HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), reducing the risk of heart-related complications.
