TG Fit 160 mg Tablet

TG Fit 160 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 160 mg of fenofibrate in each tablet. Fenofibrate belongs to the fibrate class of lipid-lowering medicines and is used to help lower high triglycerides and, in some people, improve other cholesterol levels. TG Fit 160 mg Tablet is typically used along with diet changes, exercise, and weight management when blood fats need medical treatment.

How it works: Fenofibrate works by helping your body break down and remove triglycerides from the blood while also helping raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol in some patients. As a tablet, TG Fit 160 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed to provide a systemic effect on blood lipid levels over time.

TG Fit 160 mg Tablet is a higher-strength fenofibrate tablet, so it is meant for people whose doctor has decided that 160 mg is the right dose for their lipid problem. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this tablet represents the full treatment option for TG Fit and is chosen when a clinician wants a once-daily fenofibrate tablet at this strength.

• High triglycerides
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• Abnormal cholesterol levels
• Lipid management alongside diet and exercise
• Reducing very high triglycerides to help lower pancreatitis risk

• Swallow TG Fit 160 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush or chew it unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically says otherwise.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually once daily if your doctor recommends this strength.
• Take it with food if your prescriber or product directions advise it, because fenofibrate tablets are often better tolerated and absorbed with a meal.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember doses and keep treatment steady.
• Keep following the low-fat, cholesterol-lowering diet your doctor recommended; the tablet works best with lifestyle changes.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each TG Fit 160 mg Tablet provides 160 mg of fenofibrate per tablet. Depending on your diagnosis and lab results, your doctor may prescribe it once daily, but the exact dosing schedule should always be decided by your prescriber. Do not take more than the amount your doctor tells you to take, because higher-strength fenofibrate tablets are not meant to be self-adjusted.

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