What does it do?

Fenofibrate is a lipid-lowering agent of the fibrate class, used to lower blood triglycerides and bad cholesterol levels. It is primarily used for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases associated with atherosclerosis.

Fenofibrate promotes lipid metabolism in the liver, helping to break down triglycerides and lower levels of bad cholesterol (LDL). This reduces fat accumulation in the blood vessels, preventing atherosclerosis.
