Atorlip F 5mg/160mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to lower high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It is a combination of two medicines—Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate. These medicines belong to a group called lipid-lowering agents. Atorlip-F is used when diet and lifestyle changes alone have not been effective in controlling lipid levels. It is also prescribed to reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. This medicine helps to manage blood fat levels and promote overall cardiovascular health.
Uses
- Prevention of Heart attack
- Treatment of High cholesterol
Benefits of Atorlip F
- Helps lower “bad” cholesterol (LDL) levels in the blood.

- Lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
- Useful in treating mixed dyslipidemia (high cholesterol and high triglycerides).
- Supports long-term cardiovascular health when used along with a healthy lifestyle.
- Can help diabetic patients by reducing lipid-related complications.
- Often prescribed when lifestyle changes alone are not enough.
How Atorlip F Tablet works
Atorlip-F 5mg/160mg Tablet contains two active ingredients. The first is Atorvastatin, a statin that reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver. It blocks an enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) required for making cholesterol. This results in lower levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides, and an increase in HDL (good cholesterol).
The second ingredient, Fenofibrate, works by breaking down fats in the blood. It activates certain receptors that help remove triglycerides and other lipids from the bloodstream. Fenofibrate improves the way the body processes fat. Together, these two components offer a stronger and more effective lipid-lowering action than using either medicine alone.
