Description
Fenofibrate 160mg Tablets, 30 Tablets
Fenofibrate 160mg Tablets are a type of medication known as a fibrate. This medication is used to lower blood lipid levels, including triglycerides. When used in combination with other treatments such as diet and exercise, Fenofibrate 160mg Tablets can help improve blood lipid profiles in patients who have not seen results from using statins alone. Talk to your doctor about whether Fenofibrate 160mg Tablets may be the right treatment option for you.
What are triglycerides?
Triglycerides are a type of fat that we need to survive. They give our bodies energy and keep us healthy, but if there is too much in the bloodstream it can raise risks for heart disease or other conditions such as pancreatitis which causes inflammation near your stomach muscles (pancreas).
What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is one of several fatty substances found in the bloodstream. Your total cholesterol is made up mainly of LDL and HDL cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol is often called “bad” cholesterol because it can build up in the walls of your arteries forming plaque. Eventually this plaque build-up can lead to a narrowing of the arteries.
This narrowing can slow or block blood flow to vital organs such as the heart and brain. This blocking of blood flow can result in a heart attack or stroke.
HDL cholesterol is often called “good” cholesterol because it helps keep the bad cholesterol from building up in the arteries and protects against heart disease.
Triglycerides are another form of fat in your blood that may increase your risk for heart disease.
You should stay on a cholesterol-lowering diet while taking this medicine.
