Finabate 160 Tablet

Finabate 160 Tablet is an oral medicine that contains fenofibrate 160 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering medicines. Finabate 160 Tablet is used to help reduce high triglycerides and, in some patients, improve other abnormal cholesterol levels when diet and exercise alone are not enough.

How it works: Fenofibrate works by activating receptors in the body that help break down fats in the blood and reduce the liver’s production of triglycerides. As a tablet, Finabate 160 Tablet is swallowed and absorbed so the medicine can lower unhealthy blood fats over time.

Finabate 160 Tablet is a higher-strength fenofibrate tablet, so it is generally chosen for adults who need a full therapeutic dose rather than a lower starter dose. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this tablet fits standard fenofibrate dosing as prescribed by a doctor, who may select it based on your lipid levels, kidney function, and response to treatment.

• High triglycerides
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• Low HDL cholesterol in selected patients
• Adjunct to diet and exercise for lipid control
• Reduction of pancreatitis risk from very high triglycerides

• Swallow Finabate 160 Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; do not split, crush, or chew unless your doctor says it is okay.
• Take it with food if your prescriber or the package directions advise it, since fenofibrate tablets are often taken with a meal for better absorption.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember doses.
• Keep following a low-fat, cholesterol-lowering diet and exercise plan while taking Finabate 160 Tablet.

Each Finabate 160 Tablet provides fenofibrate 160 mg. The usual schedule is once daily, but the exact dose and duration are determined by the doctor based on your condition and lab results. Do not take more than the prescribed amount in a day.
