Tgr 160 mg Tablet

Tgr 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 reduce high triglycerides and other abnormal blood fat levels when diet and exercise are not enough. Doctors may prescribe Tgr 160 mg Tablet as part of a heart-risk reduction plan in adults with certain cholesterol or triglyceride problems.

How it works: Fenofibrate in Tgr 160 mg Tablet helps activate pathways that break down triglyceride-rich particles in the blood and can also raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol a bit. As a tablet, it is swallowed whole and absorbed in the digestive tract to work gradually over time, not as a fast-acting medicine.

Tgr 160 mg Tablet is the full-strength fenofibrate tablet in this product listing, so it is meant for people whose doctor has decided that a 160 mg dose is appropriate. Because this is not a starter-strength lower-dose tablet in this brand line, it may be chosen when a clinician wants a more complete triglyceride-lowering effect and has already checked kidney, liver, and medication history before prescribing it.

• High triglycerides
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• Very high triglyceride levels
• Adjunct to diet and exercise for lipid control
• Lowering fat levels in the blood as directed by a doctor

• Swallow Tgr 160 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush, split, or chew it unless your prescriber specifically says otherwise.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually once daily, because the 160 mg tablet is a higher-strength fenofibrate dose.
• Take it with food if your prescriber or label instructions say so, since absorption of some fenofibrate tablets can be better with a meal.
• Try to take it at the same time each day to help you remember doses.
• Keep following your low-fat diet, exercise plan, and any weight-management advice while taking Tgr 160 mg Tablet.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up a missed dose unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so.

Each Tgr 160 mg Tablet provides 160 mg of fenofibrate. For adults, it is commonly taken once daily, but the exact schedule depends on your condition, kidney function, and the other medicines you use; your doctor decides the dose and whether this 160 mg strength is appropriate. Do not take more than the prescribed amount in one day.

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

Common side effects of Fenofibrate may include:

• Stomach upset
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain
• Back pain
• Headache
• Mild increases in lab tests such as liver enzymes or creatine kinase

• Tgr 160 mg Tablet is a higher-strength fenofibrate tablet and should be used only when a clinician has assessed your triglycerides, kidney function, and overall risk.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease, gallbladder disease, diabetes, thyroid problems, or a history of muscle disorders.
• Avoid heavy alcohol use, since it can raise triglycerides and strain the liver.
• This medicine is not for treating a sudden heart-related emergency and does not work like a blood pressure medicine or nitrate.
• Use extra caution if you take a statin or other cholesterol medicine, because the risk of muscle problems can be higher.
• If you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, ask your doctor before using Tgr 160 mg Tablet.
• Use caution when driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy or unwell after taking it.

• Statins such as atorvastatin, simvastatin, or rosuvastatin may increase the risk of muscle injury when combined with fenofibrate.
• Blood thinners such as warfarin may interact and require closer monitoring.
• Bile acid sequestrants such as cholestyramine or colesevelam can reduce fenofibrate absorption if taken too close together.
• Other medicines that affect the kidneys or liver may raise the risk of side effects.
• Alcohol can worsen triglycerides and increase liver-related risk.
