Tonact-TG tablet contains atorvastatin and fenofibrate as active substances. Atorvastatin works by lowering bad cholesterol. Fenofibrate works by the breakdown of triglyceride fat present in blood.
Atorvastatin acid is extensively metabolised in both the gut and liver by oxidation, lactonisation and glucuronidation, and the metabolites are eliminated by biliary secretion and direct secretion from blood to the intestine.After absorption, fenofibrate is mainly excreted in the urine in the form of metabolites, primarily fenofibric acid and fenofibric acid glucuronide. After administration of radiolabeled fenofibrate, approximately 60% of the dose appeared in the urine and 25% was excreted in the feces.
