Is Atorlip-F A Substitute For Storfib Tablet?

Hi, I have an urgent question. My Mother suffered from stoke on 23rd march and was in ICU for 3 days with all heart and arteries reporting fine. Doctors used Asprin and some other medicines to cure her and she is fine now.



The question is : Her prescription says a storfib tablet at bed time and the pack of medicines has atorlip f. Are these substitutes.

Hello
yes both are same medicine. Just check strength of the contents. Both contains Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate. Dosage must be mentioned on the back side of strip. Usually comes in 10/145 strength. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
