The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose combination of atorvastatin (10 mg) and ezetimibe (10 mg) compared to atorvastatin (20 mg) monotherapy in the Bangladeshi population. Researchers will compare atorvastatin (10 mg) and ezetimibe (10 mg) to atorvastatin (20 mg) monotherapy to see if atorvastatin (10 mg) and ezetimibe (10 mg) FDC works to treat dyslipidemia. Participants will: * Take a fixed-dose combination of atorvastatin (10 mg) and ezetimibe (10 mg) compared to atorvastatin (20 mg) monotherapy for 3 months * Follow-up visits at 6 weeks and 12 weeks for checkups and tests
