Fenotor Tablet

Fenotor Tablet is a fenofibrate tablet made by Prevento Pharma, supplied as labelled in each tablet. Fenofibrate belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering medicines. It is used to help lower high triglycerides and certain cholesterol problems when diet and other measures are not enough. Fenotor Tablet is for oral use and is prescribed for adults who need treatment of abnormal blood fats.

How it works: Fenofibrate helps activate the body’s breakdown of triglycerides and can reduce the liver’s production of some fats in the blood. As a tablet, Fenotor Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to work gradually on blood lipid levels.

Fenotor Tablet is the only fenofibrate tablet strength/form available for this brand, so there is no lower or higher sibling to compare it with. Because it is supplied as a standard tablet, it fits typical fenofibrate dosing prescribed by a doctor and is taken by people whose lipid-lowering plan specifically calls for this tablet strength.

• High triglycerides
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• High cholesterol management
• Adjunct to diet and exercise for lipid control

• Swallow Fenotor Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor; do not change the dose on your own.
• If your prescriber advises, take it with food to improve absorption and stomach comfort.
• Try to take it at the same time each day.
• Do not crush, split, or chew unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically tells you to.
• Keep following a low-fat, cholesterol-conscious diet and exercise plan while taking it.

Fenotor Tablet provides fenofibrate as labelled in each tablet, and the exact milligram strength should be checked on the package before use. Depending on the condition being treated and the product’s labeled strength, it may be taken once daily or as directed by the prescriber; the doctor decides the schedule and maximum daily amount. Do not take more than prescribed, because fenofibrate dosing must be individualized based on response, kidney function, and other medicines.

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