Atchol-F Tablet is a combination medication with two active ingredients:

• Atorvastatin (10 mg): This statin works by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in your liver. This enzyme is involved in cholesterol production. By inhibiting it, atorvastatin reduces the amount of cholesterol produced in the body. Moreover, it increases the number of LDL receptors on the liver cells' surface, which helps to remove LDL cholesterol from your bloodstream.

• Fenofibrate (160 mg): As a fibrate, fenofibrate activates a specific receptor called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). This action increases the breakdown of fatty acids and triglycerides in your body. It also reduces the production of a substance called apolipoprotein C-III that inhibits fat breakdown. Lastly, it promotes HDL cholesterol synthesis and helps clear LDL cholesterol from your bloodstream.
