Uses of Avicus-F Tablet

Avicus-F Tablet is used to manage high lipid levels and lower the risk of cardiovascular problems. The detailed uses of Avicus-F Tablet are as follows:

  • High cholesterol: Avicus-F Tablet reduces high levels of total cholesterol and LDL (bad cholesterol) in the blood.
  • High triglycerides: Avicus-F Tablet lowers raised triglyceride levels to minimize the risk of pancreatitis and heart disease.
  • Dyslipidemia: Avicus-F Tablet manages abnormal levels of cholesterol and triglycerides together.
  • Prevention of heart disease: Avicus-F Tablet lowers the risk of heart attacks by managing lipid profiles.
  • Prevention of blood vessel blockage: Avicus-F Tablet helps prevent atherosclerosis by reducing plaque buildup in arteries.

Directions for Use

• It can be taken with or without food as advised by a doctor. • Adhere to your doctor's guidance regarding the dosage and timing of this medication for optimal effectiveness. • Swallow Avicus-F Tablet as a whole with a glass of water. • Do not crush, chew, or break it.

Medicinal Benefits

  • It helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and increases the level of good cholesterol (HDL) in dyslipidemia or hyperlipidemia. 
  • Avicus-F Tablet also lowers the amount of fat or cholesterol deposition (plaque) in the arteries of the heart, thereby reducing the chance of having a heart attack or stroke in the future.
  • Balances abnormal lipid profiles by lowering triglycerides and LDL while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL or 'good cholesterol').
  • It increases the uptake and breakdown of LDL cholesterol in the liver. It suppresses the production of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), thereby reducing overall bad cholesterol levels in the blood.
  • Avicus-F Tablet enhances the activity of lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that breaks down fats in the bloodstream. It also helps reduce uric acid levels by promoting its excretion through urine.
  • It reduces the chances of complications such as heart attack, stroke, and angina (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart) due to high cholesterol levels.

How Avicus-F Tablet Works

Avicus-F Tablet is composed of two medicines, namely: Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate. Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase required to make cholesterol in the body. As a result, it lowers the bad cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins or LDL) and triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Fenofibrate is another lipid-lowering agent that works by increasing the natural substance (lipoprotein lipase) that breaks down fats in the bloodstream, thereby increasing its utilization and removal. As a result, it decreases harmful cholesterol like LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides (TG) and increases levels of HDL (good cholesterol).

Storage

• Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight. • Keep out of sight and reach of children. • Non cold chain - To be stored in cool places at 10ºC to 25ºC or below 30ºC.
