Mechanism of action
Fenofibrate is a fibrate derivative that stimulates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha. This action enhances the metabolism of triglycerides and cholesterol, helping to regulate lipid profiles and lower low-density lipoprotein levels in the blood.
Fenofibrate is a fibrate tablet, also known under the names Lipantil and Supralip. Taken with diet, it is used for hypercholesterolaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia. Tablets come in 160 mg and 200 mg strengths, and the active ingredient is fenofibrate.
Fenofibrate acts on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, which steps up the metabolism of triglycerides and cholesterol and brings down low-density lipoprotein levels in the blood. Fibrates raise the risk of myopathy and have been associated with rhabdomyolysis. Diffuse muscle aches, muscle tenderness or weakness, or a marked rise in creatine phosphokinase should prompt a prompt medical review (DailyMed).
