Fenofibrate 67mg Micro Capsules, 90 Capsules

Fenofibrate 67mg micro capsules belong to a group of medicines, commonly known as fibrates. These medicines are used to lower
the level of fats (lipids) in the blood, for example the fats known as triglycerides. Fenofibrate capsules are used, alongside a low
fat diet and other non-medical treatments such as exercise and weight loss, to lower levels of fats in the blood. Fenofibrate capsules
can be used in addition to other medicines (called statins) in some circumstances when levels of fats in the blood are not controlled
with a statin alone.

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.

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).
