Overview Alten F 10/160 Tablet

Alten F 10/160 tablets combine two lipid-reducing agents to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the bloodstream. Prescribed when lifestyle modifications (like a low-fat diet) prove insufficient, this medication mitigates heart disease risk. Alten F 10/160 can be ingested with or without food, at any time of day, but consistent timing aids adherence. Dosage is tailored by your physician based on your lipid profile and response. While elevated cholesterol and triglycerides often present asymptomatically, discontinuing treatment elevates lipid levels, worsening your condition and increasing stroke and heart disease risks. Regular lipid profile monitoring is crucial. This medication complements a comprehensive treatment plan encompassing a healthy, low-fat diet, regular physical activity, smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and weight management. Maintain a generally balanced diet, minimizing high-fat foods. Common, typically mild and transient, side effects include nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, headache, sleep disturbances, flatulence, and myalgia. Persistent symptoms, jaundice, unusual bleeding or bruising, or recurrent/severe/unexplained muscle pain warrant immediate medical attention. Periodic liver function tests may be recommended. This medication is contraindicated in liver disease (e.g., abnormal liver function tests, persistent jaundice). Inform your doctor of kidney issues, pregnancy, pregnancy plans, or breastfeeding before use. Diabetics should monitor blood glucose levels as this medication may cause hyperglycemia.
