About Tonact Forte Tablet

Tonact Forte Tablet belongs to a class of medications called antilipemic (cholesterol-lowering agent). Tonact Forte Tablet is used to treat raised cholesterol levels in our body. Tonact Forte Tablet helps lower the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol in the blood and increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol. Dyslipidaemia is the deposition of unhealthy levels of fats (lipid) in the blood. In this condition, there is always a high level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL or bad cholesterol), triglycerides (TG), and a low level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL or good cholesterol). Tonact Forte Tablet is an extended-release formulation that releases slowly for a longer duration of time.

Tonact Forte Tablet contains two medicines, namely atorvastatin and nicotinic acid (vitamin B3). Atorvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that blocks the enzyme required to make cholesterol in the body. It reduces the bad cholesterol (also known as low-density lipoproteins or LDL), triglycerides (TG) and increases the levels of good cholesterol (also known as high-density lipoproteins or HDL). On the other hand, Tonact Forte Tablet contains nicotinic acid, which is a form of vitamin B that further increases good cholesterol levels (HDL).
