How it works
Atorvastatin reduces the level of cholesterol in the blood. Ezetimibe works by reducing or stopping the absorption of cholesterol through the small intestine. Fenofibrate increases the natural lipid breakdown process with the help of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase. This removes the bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides from the blood and increases the levels of good cholesterol (HDL).
