Feno-TG Tablet

Feno-TG Tablet is a prescription tablet containing fenofibrate, the exact strength listed on the pack, and it comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets. Fenofibrate belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering medicines. It is used to help lower high triglycerides and, in some people, raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol when diet and lifestyle changes are not enough. Feno-TG Tablet is not a quick fix for chest pain or acute cholesterol emergencies; it is used as part of longer-term treatment.

How it works: Fenofibrate in Feno-TG Tablet helps the body break down triglyceride-rich fats and reduces how much fat the liver makes and releases into the blood. As a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed systemically, where it works over time to improve lipid levels rather than giving an immediate sensation of effect.

Because Feno-TG Tablet is a tablet with the strength shown on the label, it fits patients who have already been assessed by a doctor and need this exact fenofibrate dose. It is not the same as a lower-strength starting option, so prescribers choose it when that amount is appropriate for the patient’s lipid levels, kidney function, and treatment goals.

• High triglycerides
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• Low HDL cholesterol as part of a lipid plan
• Adjunct to diet, exercise, and weight management
• Lowering pancreatitis risk in very high triglycerides when prescribed

• Swallow Feno-TG Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split unless your prescriber or pharmacist says it is okay.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, at the same time each day if your doctor has set a daily schedule.
• Follow food instructions on your prescription label; some fenofibrate tablets are taken with food to improve absorption.
• Keep taking it even if you feel well, because cholesterol and triglyceride problems usually do not cause symptoms.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Use diet, exercise, and alcohol reduction along with Feno-TG Tablet for best results.

Each Feno-TG Tablet provides the labeled fenofibrate strength per tablet, so the prescribed dose depends on that exact tablet strength. The tablet may be taken once daily or at another interval your doctor chooses based on your lipid levels and safety factors; do not exceed the total daily amount your prescriber has ordered. Your doctor decides the dose and whether this strength is the right one for you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Fenofibrate may include:

• Stomach pain or upset stomach
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Back pain
• Headache
• Mild increase in liver tests on labs
• Muscle aches, which may be more concerning at higher fenofibrate strengths or in higher-risk patients

• Do not use Feno-TG Tablet without medical supervision if you have liver disease, gallbladder disease, or significant kidney problems.
• Tell your doctor if you drink alcohol regularly, since alcohol can worsen triglycerides and increase liver risk.
• Report any muscle pain or weakness right away, especially if you also take a statin or have kidney issues.
• Fenofibrate can affect liver and kidney labs, so monitoring may be needed during treatment.
• Use caution if you are older, dehydrated, or taking medicines that can raise the risk of muscle injury.
• This tablet is for long-term lipid management and will not treat sudden chest pain or a heart attack.
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive, ask your doctor whether fenofibrate is appropriate.

• Warfarin and other blood thinners
• Statins such as atorvastatin or rosuvastatin
• Cyclosporine or other medicines that can affect the kidneys
• Bile acid sequestrants, which may reduce absorption if not spaced apart
• Alcohol, which can worsen triglycerides and liver-related risk

Store Feno-TG Tablet at room temperature in a dry place, away from excess heat, moisture, and direct light, and keep it in the original strip/box until use.
