Rosuvastatin 20 mg + Fenofibrate 160 mg Tabs
₹315.00
The tablet containing Rosuvastatin 20 mg + Fenofibrate 160 mg is a prescription medication used to treat high cholesterol and triglyceride levels (a condition known as mixed dyslipidemia). This combination helps reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Key Information
- Uses: It is used when a low-fat diet and exercise alone are not enough to manage abnormal lipid levels in the blood. The medicine lowers “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing “good” cholesterol (HDL).
- Mechanism:
- Rosuvastatin (a statin) works by blocking an enzyme in the liver responsible for cholesterol production.
- Fenofibrate (a fibrate) works by increasing the natural breakdown and elimination of fats (triglycerides) from the bloodstream.
- Administration:
- Take the medicine as a whole tablet with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or break it.
- It can be taken with or without food, but taking it at the same time each day is recommended for consistency.
- Important Precautions:
- Prescription Required: This is a prescription medicine and should be taken only as advised by a doctor.
- Lifestyle: It should be used in addition to a healthy, low-fat diet, regular exercise, and moderation of alcohol intake.
- Monitoring: Your doctor may recommend regular blood tests to monitor your liver function and lipid levels.
- Contraindications: It is not recommended for patients with active liver disease, severe kidney impairment, or pre-existing gallbladder disease.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: It is highly unsafe during pregnancy and generally not recommended while breastfeeding.
Common Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if any persist or worsen.

When to Seek Medical Attention
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if accompanied by fever, or if you notice signs of liver damage like dark urine or yellowing of the skin/eyes.
