Fenocor 105 mg Tablet

Fenocor 105 mg Tablet is a prescription fenofibrate medicine in tablet form, with each tablet containing 105 mg of fenofibrate. It belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering drugs and is used to help treat high triglycerides and certain other abnormal cholesterol patterns. Fenocor 105 mg Tablet is typically used along with diet changes and other lifestyle measures to lower the risk linked to very high blood fats.

How it works: Fenofibrate in Fenocor 105 mg Tablet helps your body break down fats in the blood and can lower triglycerides while improving some cholesterol levels. The tablet form releases the medicine after you swallow it, so it works through the digestive system and then acts on fat metabolism in the liver and blood.

Fenocor 105 mg Tablet is a higher-strength option than Fenocor 35 mg Tablet, so it is meant for people whose doctor has already assessed that this dose is appropriate. Because it provides 105 mg in one tablet, it may be chosen when a stronger fenofibrate dose is needed rather than starting with the lower-strength tablet. This tablet strength should not be assumed to be a starting dose for everyone.
