A member asked:

Could you tell me what is the role of "stator f" tablet for a heart patient?

RU from India?: Stator F is a combination pill containing Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate marketed in India. This is a potent combination with at least a 10% incidence of serious side-effects. I don't know how it works in India, but in the USA, the drugs are taken as 2 separate pills and must be under the supervision of a doctor. Both drugs have been shown to reduce the incidence of heart attacks.

Interesting: I had to look up this drug as I hadn't heard of it. Turns out it's not available in the US. It's a combination of a station and a fibrate. Statins are essentially a must in someone defined to have coronary artery disease (CAD). The fibrate: not so much. If you have CAD I would definitely be on a statin but you probably don't need the fibrate. You can take just atorvastatin which is in this pill.
