It belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering medicines and is used to help treat high triglycerides and other abnormal blood fat levels. Fenolip 145 mg Tablet is often used along with diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes to lower the risk linked with very high triglycerides. It is made by Cipla, India, and comes as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Fenofibrate in Fenolip 145 mg Tablet helps activate a process that lowers triglycerides and can modestly raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol. This tablet form is swallowed whole and releases fenofibrate so your body can use it to reduce blood fat levels over time.

Fenolip 145 mg Tablet is a higher-strength fenofibrate tablet, so it is usually chosen for patients whose doctor wants a full fenofibrate dose rather than a lower-strength start. Compared with Fenolip 160 mg Tablet, this 145 mg tablet provides a slightly different labeled strength, and your prescriber may choose it based on the exact product available, your lipid results, kidney function, and how well you tolerate treatment.

• High triglycerides
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• Low HDL cholesterol support
