About AFF Tablet

AFF Tablet is a combination of Lipid-lowering agents and Vitamins. It is used to lower the high cholesterol or increased cholesterol levels and triglycerides in the blood when a low-fat diet and lifestyle modifications have failed. High cholesterol is a condition in which you have too many lipids (fats) in your blood. It is also called hyperlipidemia or hypercholesterolemia.

AFF Tablet contains Atorvastatin, Fenofibrate and Folic Acid. Atorvastatin prevents your body from making 'bad' cholesterol (LDL), while Fenofibrate works by lowering the levels of triglycerides in your blood. Additionally, they raise 'good' cholesterol (HDL) levels. Folic Acid reduces the levels of a harmful substance (homocysteine), thereby decreasing cholesterol synthesis.

Take AFF Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will advise how often you take AFF Tablet based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience hyperglycemia (excess of glucose in the bloodstream), nausea, stomach pain, constipation, flatulence, headaches and muscle pain. Most of these side effects of AFF Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor.

It is recommended not to take AFF Tablet if you are allergic to any components present in it. Do not take AFF Tablet on your own if you are pregnant or a nursing mother unless prescribed by the doctor. Keep your doctor informed about your medical condition and all the medicines you are taking before taking AFF Tablet to rule out any side effects. Consuming alcohol along with AFF Tablet is not advisable.

FAQs

AFF Tablet contains Atorvastatin, Fenofibrate and Folic Acid. Atorvastatin prevents your body from making "bad" cholesterol (LDL), while Fenofibrate works by lowering the levels of triglycerides in your blood. Additionally, they raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) levels. Folic Acid reduces the levels of a harmful substance (homocysteine), thereby decreasing cholesterol synthesis.

When you have more than your body requirements, cholesterol can result in plaque to build-up in your blood vessels. This thick, hard plaque can block your arteries like a blocked pipe. Decreased blood flow can cause heart attack and stroke.

Take the missed dose as soon as possible, or skip to the next dose if it's been too late. Never try to take a double dose to make up for the missed dose.

Disease/Condition Glossary

High cholesterol: Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver to protect nerves, make tissue, and various hormones. Our body also receives cholesterol from food, like cooking oils, eggs, meats, and dairy products. Excess cholesterol is bad for our health. There are two types of cholesterol: ' bad cholesterol' and 'good cholesterol'. Bad cholesterol comprises low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides (TG), while good cholesterol consists of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Usually, there are no specific symptoms of raised or high cholesterol levels but a large deposition of cholesterol in the arteries (plaque) or heart blockage. Blocked artery or plaque formation in the heart's arteries can lead to chest pain (angina), heart attack, or stroke. So it is advisable to have complete cholesterol tests (lipid profile tests) at least once a year. It will help you closely monitor your heart health and risk of heart attack and stroke.
