Phase IIIb, randomized, longitudinal, prospective, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the fixed-dose combination atorvastatin / fenofibrate versus atorvastatin on the lipid profile of patients with type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.

To assess the efficacy and safety of the fixed-dose combination atorvastatin / fenofibrate versus atorvastatin on the lipid profile of patients with type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. Assessing the magnitude of change in lipid profile numbers. And describing the effect on anthropometric, biochemical and clinical indicators, as well as events and adverse reactions that may occur.
