Fenobate Capsule 200 mg contains Fenofibrate, a lipid-lowering agent used to manage hyperlipidemia and mixed dyslipidemia. Fenofibrate helps reduce elevated levels of triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, supporting cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.

This medication is particularly useful for patients with high triglycerides, low HDL, or combined lipid disorders and may be prescribed alongside diet and lifestyle modifications.

Composition

Each capsule contains:

• Fenofibrate 200 mg

Mechanism of Action

Fenofibrate works by:

• Activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα)

• Increasing the oxidation of fatty acids and reducing triglyceride synthesis

• Enhancing HDL cholesterol production

• Reducing the concentration of apolipoprotein C-III, which inhibits triglyceride clearance

This results in improved blood lipid profiles, decreasing the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with hyperlipidemia.
