Stator-F -Tablets 15’s

Description

Stator-F – Strip of 15 Tablets is a medication used for managing high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It is often prescribed as part of a treatment plan to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes, by controlling lipid (fat) levels in the blood.

Composition:

Each Stator-F Tablet typically contains:

1. Atorvastatin (10 mg): Atorvastatin is a statin that works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in the liver, which is responsible for cholesterol production. This leads to a reduction in the overall cholesterol levels, specifically low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or “bad” cholesterol.
2. Fenofibrate (160 mg): Fenofibrate is a fibrate that helps reduce triglyceride levels and increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, also known as “good” cholesterol. It works by enhancing the breakdown of triglycerides and increasing the clearance of fat particles from the blood.

Uses:

Stator-F is prescribed to:

• Lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and total cholesterol in individuals with high cholesterol levels.
• Reduce triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol).
• Reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular problems by improving lipid profiles in individuals at risk of these conditions.

Dosage:

The typical dosage for Stator-F is:

• Adults: 1 tablet (10 mg of Atorvastatin + 160 mg of Fenofibrate) once daily, preferably taken with food, or as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
• The exact dosage may depend on the individual’s cholesterol levels and response to treatment. The dose can be adjusted based on treatment goals and patient needs.

Side Effects:

Possible side effects of Stator-F may include:

• Gastrointestinal issues: Such as nausea, abdominal pain, or constipation.
• Headache or dizziness.
• Muscle pain or weakness (statins like Atorvastatin can occasionally cause muscle-related side effects).
• Liver function issues: Rare but serious liver-related side effects, such as elevated liver enzymes.
• Increased risk of gallstones (a possible side effect of Fenofibrate).
• Rash or allergic reactions.

Precautions:

• Liver and kidney problems: Patients with liver or kidney issues should use Stator-F with caution. Regular liver function tests may be required during treatment.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Stator-F should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks to the fetus or infant. Always consult a doctor before use.
• Drug interactions: Stator-F may interact with other medications, including anticoagulants, other lipid-lowering drugs, and certain antibiotics. Ensure your healthcare provider is aware of all medications you’re taking.
• Muscle pain or weakness: If you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, report it to your doctor immediately, as it may indicate a rare but serious side effect called rhabdomyolysis.
