Finabate 200 mg Tablet

Finabate 200 mg Tablet is a fenofibrate medicine in tablet form used to help lower abnormal blood fats. Each Finabate 200 mg Tablet contains 200 mg of fenofibrate, a fibrate-class lipid-lowering drug. It is used to treat high triglycerides and certain mixed cholesterol disorders when diet and lifestyle changes are not enough. Your doctor may prescribe Finabate 200 mg Tablet as part of a broader plan to reduce cardiovascular risk.

How it works: Fenofibrate works by helping your body break down certain fats in the blood, especially triglycerides, and by improving the way the liver handles lipids. In tablet form, Finabate 200 mg Tablet is swallowed and then absorbed to slowly help lower unhealthy blood fat levels over time.

Finabate 200 mg Tablet is a higher-strength option than Finabate 145 mg Tablet, so it is not meant for casual use or for starting treatment without medical review. This strength may be chosen for people whose lab results and treatment goals call for a higher fenofibrate dose, and it should be used only if a doctor has specifically assessed that this tablet strength is appropriate.

• Mixed dyslipidemia
• High blood fats when diet alone is not enough

• Swallow Finabate 200 mg Tablet whole with water.

Each Finabate 200 mg Tablet provides 200 mg of fenofibrate per tablet. Depending on your condition and response, a doctor may prescribe it once daily or less commonly in another schedule based on clinical judgment and lab results; do not change the schedule on your own. The maximum daily amount and whether this higher-strength tablet is appropriate must be decided by your prescriber, especially because Finabate 200 mg Tablet is a stronger tablet than the 145 mg option.

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