Tricor Tablets Description

If dieting and exercise has failed to lower your triglycerides and low-density cholesterol (LDL-bad cholesterol) or raise your high-density cholesterol (HDL-good cholesterol), see your doctor about a prescription for Tricor Tablets or generic Fenofibrate Nanocrystallized (NanoCrystal technology allows you to take Tricor Tablets without the need for food or a meal). Doctors may not explain a lot about triglycerides, but high levels of this fat can be a health risk. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Lower Triglyceride Levels and Raise Good Cholesterol

When taken as directed, Tricor Tablets (called Lipidil EZ in Canada) work as a fibric acid derivative by boosting the production of lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that breaks down very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). These are triglyceride-rich particles produced by your liver. This action results in removing triglycerides from your blood quicker and moderately effective at increasing the good blood cholesterol. To help lower your bad cholesterol, talk to a nutritionist about how to change your diet, become more active, exercise, and limit your alcohol intake.

Conditions Treated by Tricor Tablets

There is an association with having high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. Neither of these conditions have symptoms, unless your blood pressure is extremely high. A blood test is performed to check cholesterol, good and bad. But your triglycerides are important, too. Triglycerides are chemical compounds your body digests in order to provide your metabolism the energy it needs. High levels of triglycerides also put you at risk for heart disease. Cutting carbohydrates from your diet rather than fat can be a good way to lower your levels.

Before Tricor Tablets are Prescribed to You

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding as Tricor Tablets may be harmful to your unborn or nursing baby. Discuss other medical conditions or allergies with your doctor and list any OTC or Rx drugs you currently take or use, including alternative and complementary medicine. This can help your doctor determine if Tricor Tablets are right for you.

Tricor Tablets Proper Use and Recommendations

If you are taking other cholesterol lowering medications, do not take Tricor Tablets for 4-6 hours afterwards. Your doctor may recommend regular blood tests to monitor your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Keep Tricor Tablets out of children’s reach and away from heat, light, and moisture.
