Finobrate 160 Tablet
Description
Finobrate 160 is a medicine used to help manage high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It contains fenofibrate, which belongs to a class of medications called fibrates. By lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides and increasing HDL (good) cholesterol, Finobrate 160 reduces the risk of heart-related complications such as heart attacks and strokes.
This medicine works by activating the PPARĪ± receptor, which improves lipid metabolism in the body. It helps your body break down fats more efficiently, reducing the buildup of harmful lipids in blood vessels. Using Finobrate 160 along with other cholesterol-lowering medications like statins may be recommended by your doctor for better control of lipid levels.
For optimal results, Finobrate 160 should be taken along with a low-fat diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle modifications. Consistency in taking the medicine as prescribed is important, and it should not be stopped without consulting your doctor. Your doctor will determine the right dosage and treatment duration based on your condition.
While generally effective, Finobrate 160 may cause side effects such as muscle pain, weakness, or, in rare cases, kidney problems. Patients with liver, kidney, or gallbladder disorders should use this medicine cautiously and under strict medical supervision. Regular check-ups and blood tests may be required to monitor your response to the treatment.
Finobrate 160 is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or for children under 18 years of age. Similar medications containing fenofibrate include Finate 160 Tablet and Tgr 160 Tablet.
