Description

Lipanthyl® contains fenofibrate, a medication used to treat abnormal blood lipid levels, particularly high triglycerides and certain forms of high cholesterol. It is usually prescribed together with dietary changes, exercise, and other lifestyle measures when these alone are insufficient.

Uses

• High triglyceride levels (hypertriglyceridemia)
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• High cholesterol not adequately controlled by diet and lifestyle changes
• Certain patients requiring additional lipid control alongside other therapies

How It Works

Fenofibrate activates natural pathways involved in fat metabolism, helping the body:

• Lower triglyceride levels
• Reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol
• Increase HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels

Dosage

• Common strengths include 145 mg and 160 mg, usually taken once daily.
• Take exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
• Continue recommended dietary and lifestyle measures during treatment.

Common Side Effects

• Headache
• Abdominal discomfort
• Nausea
• Elevated liver enzymes
• Muscle pain or weakness (uncommon but important to report)

Important Precautions

⚠️ Use with caution in patients with:

• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• Gallbladder disease
• History of muscle disorders

⚠️ Inform your healthcare provider if you take statins, anticoagulants, or other cholesterol-lowering medicines.
