Can I substitute Fibator 5 Tablet with Himalaya Abana Tablet after taking it for three years?
Asked by Male, 38 · 2 months ago
You should not substitute Fibator 5 Tablet (Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate) with Himalaya Abana Tablet (Arjuna and Guggul) on your own, as the herbal medicine may not control cholesterol and triglycerides effectively. Continue your current prescription and consult your doctor before making any changes.
