What does it do?

Micronized fenofibrate is a micronized form of fenofibrate, a medication used to regulate blood lipids. It is primarily used for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and aims to prevent arteriosclerosis. It helps to lower blood triglyceride and bad cholesterol levels.

This ingredient regulates lipid metabolism in the liver, reducing triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. It also increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, improving vascular health. This helps to reduce the accumulation of fats in blood vessels and slows the progression of arteriosclerosis.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Created in a micronized form, it has a higher absorption rate, leading to faster and more stable effects compared to regular fenofibrate. Interactions should be considered when used in combination with other lipid-lowering agents, and it is often prescribed as a combination therapy rather than used alone.
