FAQs

AFF Tablet is used to treat High Cholesterol and High Triglycerides.

AFF Tablet contains Atorvastatin, Fenofibrate and Folic Acid. Atorvastatin prevents your body from making &quot;bad&quot; cholesterol (LDL), while Fenofibrate works by lowering the levels of triglycerides in your blood. Additionally, they raise &quot;good&quot; cholesterol (HDL) levels. Folic Acid reduces the levels of a harmful substance (homocysteine), thereby decreasing cholesterol synthesis.

When you have more than your body requirements, cholesterol can result in plaque to build-up in your blood vessels. This thick, hard plaque can block your arteries like a blocked pipe. Decreased blood flow can cause heart attack and stroke.

Take the missed dose as soon as possible, or skip to the next dose if it&#039;s been too late. Never try to take a double dose to make up for the missed dose.

Strictly no; a patient is advised to take a proper healthy diet free of oily and fatty products recommended by the doctor for the best results of this medication.
