Feno-TG 160 mg Tablet

Feno-TG 160 mg Tablet is a prescription fenofibrate medicine in tablet form, with each tablet containing 160 mg of fenofibrate. It belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering medicines and is used to help manage high triglycerides and certain other abnormal cholesterol levels. Feno-TG 160 mg Tablet is often prescribed as part of a broader plan that includes diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of pancreatitis and support heart health.

How it works: Fenofibrate helps lower triglycerides by reducing the liver’s production of certain fats and helping the body clear them from the blood more effectively. In tablet form, Feno-TG 160 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and works steadily over time to improve lipid levels rather than giving immediate symptom relief.

Feno-TG 160 mg Tablet is a full-strength fenofibrate tablet, so it is not a low starting dose. This strength is generally chosen for people who need a stronger prescription option and have been assessed by a doctor for the right timing, kidney function, and overall lipid treatment plan. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, Feno-TG 160 mg Tablet is the specific form intended for standard once-daily fenofibrate treatment when this strength is appropriate.
