Fenobate 200 mg Capsule

Fenobate 200 mg Capsule is a prescription medicine that contains 200 mg of fenofibrate in each capsule. Fenofibrate belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering medicines, which are used to help reduce high triglycerides and, in some patients, improve overall cholesterol levels. Fenobate 200 mg Capsule is taken by mouth as a capsule and is used along with diet changes and other lifestyle measures. It is not a quick pain-relief medicine; it is prescribed to help manage abnormal blood fats over time.

How it works: Fenofibrate works by activating a receptor in the body that helps break down fats and clear triglycerides from the blood. In capsule form, Fenobate 200 mg is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to help lower lipid levels over time.

Fenobate 200 mg Capsule is a higher-strength fenofibrate capsule, so it is generally used only after a doctor has checked your lipid levels and decided this dose is appropriate. Because there are no other Fenobate strengths or forms listed here, this 200 mg capsule represents the brand’s full treatment option in this store and is chosen when a clinician wants a prescription-strength fenofibrate capsule in this exact dose.

• High triglycerides
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• Low HDL cholesterol when prescribed by a doctor
• Supportive treatment along with diet and exercise for abnormal lipids

• Swallow the Fenobate 200 mg Capsule whole with water; do not open, crush, or chew it unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually once daily, and try to take it at the same time each day.
• Take it with a meal if your doctor or the label instructs you to do so, because food can affect how fenofibrate is absorbed for some capsule products.
• Keep following the diet plan, weight-management advice, and exercise plan your doctor recommended for high triglycerides or cholesterol.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Fenobate 200 mg Capsule provides 200 mg of fenofibrate. The exact dosing schedule depends on your diagnosis, kidney function, and other medicines, but fenofibrate capsules are commonly taken once daily; your doctor decides the dose and whether 200 mg is appropriate for you. Do not take more than the amount prescribed for the day, because this strength is already a full prescription dose.

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