By inhibiting this enzyme, rosuvastatin reduces blood cholesterol levels, increases the uptake and breakdown of LDL by liver cells, and reduces the synthesis of VLDL in the liver.
Fenofibrate (160 mg): This component activates a receptor known as PPARα (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha). The activation of this receptor helps in breaking down triglyceride-rich particles, reducing certain protein production, altering LDL composition and increasing HDL levels.
