Stanlip Plus Tablet DR

Stanlip Plus Tablet DR contains fenofibrate in each tablet, with the exact strength shown on the pack label, and it comes as a delayed-release tablet made by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. It belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering medicines. Stanlip Plus Tablet DR is used to help lower high triglycerides and certain other unhealthy blood fats when diet and lifestyle changes alone are not enough. In some patients, it may also be used to reduce the risk linked with severe triglyceride elevation.

How it works: Fenofibrate helps your body clear triglycerides from the blood and can also improve HDL, the “good” cholesterol. As a delayed-release tablet, Stanlip Plus Tablet DR is swallowed whole so the medicine is released in a controlled way after you take it.

Stanlip Plus Tablet DR is a delayed-release tablet, so it is designed to release fenofibrate after swallowing rather than immediately in the stomach. Because this is the labeled tablet strength, it may be chosen for patients who need this specific dose and a once-daily tablet form rather than a lower-strength product. A doctor may select Stanlip Plus Tablet DR when the higher or exact dose is needed for lipid control and the delayed-release design is preferred.

• High triglycerides
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• Low HDL cholesterol
• Adjunct to diet and exercise for lipid control
• Reducing risk from severe hypertriglyceridemia

• Swallow Stanlip Plus Tablet DR whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split the delayed-release tablet.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually once daily, and at the same time each day.
• Follow the food instructions on your prescription label, because fenofibrate absorption can depend on the product formulation.
• Keep taking the tablet even if you feel well, since cholesterol and triglycerides are usually controlled over time.
• Use diet, exercise, and weight-management advice along with the tablet for best results.

Stanlip Plus Tablet DR provides the exact fenofibrate dose printed on the label in each delayed-release tablet, so the tablet strength determines how much medicine you get per dose. It is commonly taken once daily, but the exact schedule and the maximum daily dose depend on the prescribed strength, your kidney and liver function, and your response to treatment. Your doctor decides whether this specific Stanlip Plus Tablet DR strength is appropriate and whether any dose adjustment is needed.

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