Fenofibrate 145 mg tablets are a prescription medication used to treat high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, as an adjunct to diet and exercise. They belong to a class of drugs called fibrates. 
Key Information
  • Primary Use: To lower high levels of triglycerides and “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and increase levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL). This helps reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
  • How It Works: Fenofibrate activates a specific receptor in the body (PPAR-alpha) that increases the breakdown and elimination of fats from the bloodstream.
  • Dosage: It is usually taken once a day with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
  • IP Designation: “IP” stands for Indian Pharmacopoeia, indicating that the drug and its manufacturing standards meet the guidelines set by the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission. 
Important Precautions and Warnings
  • Medical Supervision: Fenofibrate is available by prescription only and should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
  • Contraindications: It should not be used in patients with severe liver disease, severe kidney disease, or gallbladder disease.
  • Potential Side Effects: Common side effects can include nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, and headache.
  • Serious Side Effects: Rare but serious side effects can include muscle pain, weakness, or breakdown (rhabdomyolysis), liver damage, or blood clots. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience unusual muscle pain, yellowing of the skin/eyes, or severe abdominal pain.
  • Interactions: Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and vitamins you are taking, as fenofibrate can interact with blood thinners (like warfarin) and some cholesterol-lowering medicines (statins).
  • Lifestyle: The medication is most effective when combined with a healthy, low-fat diet, regular exercise, and other lifestyle modifications. 
Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized medical advice regarding the use of this medication.
