Reduce Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels with Tricor Tablets

There is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, and if your bad overtakes the good cholesterol, you are at risk for coronary heart disease. Triglycerides are also a naturally occurring type of fat found in your blood. When you eat a meal, any calories your body does not need now are converted into triglycerides and stored in fat cells. When you need more energy, these fats are released. But, if you are eating more calories than you are burning off, triglyceride levels can rise.

How Tricor Tablets Work

Tricor Tablets or generic Fenofibrate micro-coated, non-micronized can be prescribed as part of your diet regimen to lose some weight and start eating healthier to lower your cholesterol or triglyceride levels. Fenofibrate is known as a fibric acid derivative. When taken as directed, Tricor Tablets will work to increase the production of lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that breaks down and increases the removal of triglyceride-rich particles. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

If your cholesterol levels need to be reduced, Tricor Tablets may also decrease your bad cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins or LDL) while increasing levels of your good cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins or HDL). Fibrinogen is also decreased, so your risk of a blood clot causing a stroke is lowered. Of course, eating a proper diet with more foods that are high in fiber will greatly improve your chance of success to lower your cholesterol and triglycerides and feel great for doing so.

Before You Start Taking Tricor Tablets

Ask your doctor if Tricor Tablets (called Lipidil Supra in Canada) are safe to take if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or are breast feeding. Discuss other medical conditions or allergies you have and provide your doctor with a list of OTC and Rx drugs you currently take or use, including any herbal products and dietary or vitamin supplements. This will determine if your doctor feels Tricor Tablets are right for your situation.

Important Information About Tricor Tablets
