FENOFIBRIC ACID (FENOFIBRIC ACID)

Fenofibric Acid Description

If you have high cholesterol and triglycerides, your doctor may recommend a prescription for generic Fenofibric Acid which belongs to the family of drugs called fibrates. Having high levels of bad cholesterol, called low density lipoproteins (LDL) and high triglyceride levels both contribute to your risk of heart disease. Of course Fenofibric Acid cannot perform miracles, so you may need to make a few lifestyle changes in order to reduce your health risks along with taking this medication. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

How Fenofibric Acid Helps Reduce Other Health Risks

When taken as directed, Fenofibric Acid increases the activity of an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase, which is responsible for transporting various types of fat and cholesterol to other areas of your body where they are needed. This action will help to break down triglycerides, which is a type of fat in your blood. Fenofibric Acid also helps in increasing your good cholesterol levels, called high-density lipoproteins (HDL). With less triglycerides and cholesterol circulating around in your blood, there is a reduced risk of any of these fats plugging up your arteries and making your heart work harder than it should.

Conditions Treated by Fenofibric Acid

Increased levels of cholesterol usually indicate that your bad cholesterol levels are higher than your good cholesterol levels. Why is LDL cholesterol called “bad cholesterol”? If you are eating a healthy diet, your bad or low-density lipoproteins carry cholesterol from your liver and send it to the tissues that require it.

If you have too much cholesterol left over after everywhere else has received their share, your LDLs simply release the extra as it travels through your bloodstream. This is what can build up on your artery walls and cause them to narrow which makes it difficult for your heart and other parts of your body to receive oxygen-rich blood. You need to eat healthier, exercise, and quit smoking to help Fenofibric Acid do its job.

Before You Take Fenofibric Acid

Ask your doctor if Fenofibric Acid is safe to take if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or are breast feeding. Discuss other medical conditions and allergies that you have and provide your doctor with a list of any Rx drugs you are taking, including OTC medicine, herbal preparations, and dietary or vitamin supplements. This will allow your doctor to determine if Fenofibric Acid is the right medication for you.

Precautions for Fenofibric Acid

Tell your doctor right away if you experience unexplained muscle pain, weakness, or tenderness while taking Fenofibric Acid. You will be required to undergo regular lab tests to monitor how Fenofibric Acid is working for you and to check for any side effects that may arise. Store Fenofibric Acid out of children’s reach and sight and never share with anyone else. Protect from light and damp environments.
