AROSTAT F

Description

Aerostat F 10mg/160mg Tablet is a combination of two lipid-lowering medicines. It is used to reduce the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle changes, such as following a low-fat diet, are not sufficient. This medicine helps reduce the risk of heart disease.

Aerostat F 10mg/160mg Tablet can be taken with or without food. You can take it at any time of the day, but try to take it at the same time every day. This will help you remember to take it. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your lipid levels and how you respond to the medicine. Most people with high cholesterol and triglycerides do not feel unwell, but stopping the medicine may increase lipid levels, which can worsen the condition and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

It is important to have your cholesterol and triglyceride levels (lipid profile) checked regularly. This medicine is only one part of a treatment program that should also include a healthy low-fat diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, and maintaining a healthy weight. You can eat normally while taking this medicine, but avoid foods that are high in fat.

Nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, headache, insomnia, increased gas, and muscle pain are some common side effects of this medicine. These are usually mild and disappear after some time. If they persist, or if you notice yellowing of the eyes, unusual bleeding or bruising, or frequent, severe, or unexplained muscle pain, consult your doctor. You may also be advised to undergo liver function tests periodically while taking this medicine.

This medicine should not be used in people with liver disease, such as abnormal liver function tests or persistent yellowing of the eyes. Before taking it, inform your doctor if you have any kidney problems or if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Patients with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels while taking this medicine, as it may increase blood sugar levels.

Main Uses of Aerostat F Tablet

• Treatment of high cholesterol
• Treatment of high triglycerides

Benefits of Aerostat F Tablet

Treatment of High Cholesterol

Aerostat F 10mg/160mg Tablet helps treat high cholesterol by reducing total cholesterol, LDL (“bad” cholesterol), and apolipoprotein B while increasing HDL (“good” cholesterol). Improving the overall lipid profile helps reduce cholesterol buildup in the blood vessels and lowers the risk of heart-related complications. When used along with a cholesterol-lowering diet, it supports better long-term cholesterol control and cardiovascular health.

Treatment of High Triglycerides

Aerostat F 10mg/160mg Tablet helps reduce high levels of triglycerides, a type of fat found in the blood. It may be used when there is an imbalance in blood fats, such as high triglycerides along with abnormal cholesterol levels. Reducing excess triglycerides helps protect the blood vessels and may lower the risk of complications associated with very high blood fat levels. When taken regularly along with dietary control, it supports healthy blood fat levels and overall metabolic health.

How Aerostat F Tablet Works

Aerostat F 10mg/160mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: atorvastatin and fenofibrate. Atorvastatin reduces cholesterol production in the liver by inhibiting an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis, thereby lowering LDL (“bad” cholesterol). Fenofibrate activates receptors that help break down and remove triglycerides and other fats from the blood while helping increase HDL (“good” cholesterol). Together, these medicines reduce both cholesterol and triglycerides and improve the overall lipid profile.
