Finograt 145 mg Tablet

Finograt 145 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 145 mg of fenofibrate in each tablet. Fenofibrate belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering medicines used to help reduce high triglycerides and may also improve other cholesterol levels in certain patients. Finograt 145 mg Tablet is used along with diet and lifestyle changes when a doctor decides extra treatment is needed to manage abnormal blood fats. It is not a quick pain-relief medicine and does not treat chest pain or high blood pressure.

How it works: Fenofibrate helps your body clear triglycerides from the blood and can also help raise HDL, the “good” cholesterol, in some people. In this tablet form, the 145 mg dose is swallowed and absorbed to work systemically on fat metabolism over time.

Finograt 145 mg Tablet is a full-strength fenofibrate tablet, so it is typically chosen for patients whose triglyceride or cholesterol levels need prescription treatment rather than a lower starting strength. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this 145 mg tablet represents the exact product available and is meant to be used only in the dose schedule your doctor prescribes.

• High triglycerides
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• Low HDL cholesterol in selected patients
• Reduction of abnormal blood fats along with diet
• Treatment plan support when lifestyle changes alone are not enough

• Swallow the Finograt 145 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your prescriber or pharmacist specifically says it is safe to do so.
• Take it exactly as directed by your doctor, since this 145 mg tablet is a prescription-strength dose.
• It may be taken with or without food, but taking it consistently the same way each day can help with routine.
• Use it along with a low-fat diet, exercise, and other lifestyle steps your doctor recommends.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not take extra tablets to “make up” for missed doses.

Each Finograt 145 mg Tablet provides 145 mg of fenofibrate per tablet. Depending on your condition and response, a doctor may prescribe it once daily, and the maximum daily dose is the amount your prescriber instructs you to take; do not exceed the prescribed amount. This strength is selected by a clinician based on your blood lipid levels, kidney function, and other medicines.

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