Fenofibric 35 mg Tablet

Fenofibric 35 mg Tablet is an oral fenofibrate product that contains 35 mg of fenofibrate in each tablet. It belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering medicines. Fenofibric 35 mg Tablet is used to help treat high triglycerides and other abnormal cholesterol levels when diet alone is not enough. It may also be used in certain people with mixed dyslipidemia as part of a broader plan to lower cardiovascular risk.

How it works: Fenofibrate works by helping the body break down fats in the blood more effectively and by lowering the production of triglycerides. In tablet form, Fenofibric 35 mg Tablet is swallowed whole and releases the medicine so it can act through the bloodstream on lipid levels.

Fenofibric 35 mg Tablet is a lower-strength tablet compared with Fenofibric 105 mg Tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants a smaller fenofibrate dose or a more cautious approach. This strength is not for self-adjusting treatment; it is used when the prescriber decides that 35 mg fits the person’s needs, medical history, and lab results.

• Lowering high triglycerides
• Helping improve mixed cholesterol problems
• Adjunct to diet and exercise for lipid control
• Supporting treatment when a lower fenofibrate dose is preferred

• Swallow Fenofibric 35 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily unless told otherwise.
• Take it with food if your prescriber or label directions recommend it, because food can help absorption for some fenofibrate products.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor says it is safe to do so.
• Try to take it at the same time each day to help you remember doses.

Each Fenofibric 35 mg Tablet provides 35 mg of fenofibrate. Depending on your condition and lab results, your doctor may prescribe it once daily, and the maximum daily amount is determined by the prescriber rather than by self-adjustment. Do not increase or decrease the dose on your own, because the right Fenofibric 35 mg Tablet schedule depends on your triglyceride levels, kidney function, and overall response.

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