About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Novastat-TG 5 Tablet is a combined lipid-lowering agent containing Fenofibrate 160mg and Rosuvastatin 5mg. This medication is indicated for the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia in adults. Fenofibrate, a fibrate derivative, primarily acts by reducing triglycerides and increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. Rosuvastatin, a statin, works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, thereby reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver. The combined action of these two drugs enhances the overall lipid-lowering effect, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in appropriate patients. Novastat-TG 5 Tablet should be used under professional medical supervision due to its potential for interactions with other medications and its risk of myopathy and liver toxicity.
