About Lipicard: Lipicard (Fenofibrate) is used to treat people with very high levels of triglycerides. Lipicard (Fenofibrate) also improves cholesterol levels by lowering total cholesterol.

How to use Lipicard


Lipicard (Fenofibrate) is used, along with a special diet, to treat people with very high levels of triglycerides (a fatty substance in the blood). Lipicard (Fenofibrate) also improves cholesterol levels by lowering total cholesterol - including "bad" LDL cholesterol - and raising "good" HDL cholesterol. It works by promoting the dissolution and elimination of fat particles in the blood.

Lipicard (Fenofibrate) is usually added to a treatment regimen only when other measures have failed to produce adequate results. Often, diet and exercise are enough to bring blood fats under control. Likewise, it`s sometimes sufficient to simply treat an underlying problem such as diabetes, underactive thyroid, kidney disease, liver dysfunction, or alcoholism. And in some cases, just discontinuing a medication is enough to do the job. For instance, certain water pills and "beta-blocker" heart medications are capable of causing a massive increase in triglyceride levels. Estrogen replacement therapy is another potential culprit.

Lipicard Dosage


Adults:

High cholesterol levels or a combination of high cholesterol and high triglycerides - The initial dose of Lipicard (Fenofibrate) is 160mg per day.

High triglyceride levels - The starting dose of Lipicard (Fenofibrate) ranges from 54 to 160mg per day. The usual starting dose is 67mg a day. Your physician may increase the dose every 4 to 8 weeks if your triglycerides do not improve. The maximum dose of Lipicard (Fenofibrate) is 160mg a day.

Older adults:

The starting dose of Lipicard (Fenofibrate) for older adults and those with poor kidney function is 54mg per day.

There is no information on the effects of a Lipicard (Fenofibrate) overdose. However, any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

Lipicard (Fenofibrate) should be taken with meals. If you`ve also been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering drug, take Lipicard (Fenofibrate) at least 1 hour before or 4 to 6 hours after the other drug to make sure Lipicard (Fenofibrate) is properly absorbed.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time.
