Stanlip 160 mg Tablet

Stanlip 160 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 160 mg of fenofibrate in each tablet. It belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering medicines and is used to help treat high triglycerides and certain other abnormal blood fat levels. Stanlip 160 mg Tablet is typically prescribed as part of a plan that also includes diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes. It is made by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and comes as a box or strip of 10 tablets.

How it works: Fenofibrate in Stanlip 160 mg Tablet helps your body break down triglycerides and improves the way cholesterol particles are processed in the blood. This tablet works by activating pathways that lower harmful fats and can raise HDL, the "good" cholesterol, over time.

Stanlip 160 mg Tablet is a higher-strength fenofibrate tablet, so it is usually chosen for adults whose doctor specifically wants this dose based on blood lipid results and overall health. Compared with lower-strength options such as Stanlip 145 mg Tablet, the 160 mg tablet delivers more fenofibrate per tablet, so it should not be switched or adjusted on your own.

• High triglycerides
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• Supportive treatment for abnormal cholesterol levels
• Reducing very high blood fat levels when prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Stanlip 160 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew it unless your doctor tells you to.
• Take it exactly at the time your doctor prescribes, since the schedule depends on your lab results and other medicines.
• Follow food instructions on your prescription label, because fenofibrate tablets may be taken with or without food depending on the product and your doctor’s directions.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose; skip the missed dose if it is almost time for the next one.
• Keep taking the tablet even if you feel well, because lipid medicines work based on blood tests, not immediate symptoms.

Each Stanlip 160 mg Tablet provides 160 mg of fenofibrate. This strength is usually taken once daily in adults, but your doctor may choose a different schedule based on your triglyceride level, kidney function, and other medicines. Do not take more than the amount prescribed; your clinician decides the correct dose for you.

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