Trichek 200 mg Capsule

Trichek 200 mg Capsule contains 200 mg of fenofibrate in each capsule. Fenofibrate is a lipid-lowering medicine in the fibrate class that helps treat high triglycerides and certain other cholesterol problems. Trichek 200 mg Capsule is used along with diet and lifestyle changes when a doctor wants to reduce abnormal blood fats and help lower the risk linked to very high triglycerides. It is a prescription product made by Zydus Cadila, India, supplied as a strip/box of 10 capsules.

How it works: Fenofibrate works by activating a body pathway that helps break down fats in the blood, especially triglycerides, and can also improve some cholesterol patterns. In capsule form, Trichek 200 mg is swallowed whole and releases fenofibrate so the medicine can be absorbed and act on blood lipids over time.

Trichek 200 mg Capsule is a full-strength fenofibrate capsule, so it is meant for patients whose doctor has already assessed that this dose is appropriate. Compared with lower fenofibrate strengths, this 200 mg capsule may be chosen when a higher dose is needed to control triglycerides, but the exact dose depends on the patient, kidney function, and overall treatment plan. It is not meant to be started casually or swapped with another fenofibrate form without medical advice.

• Reduction of very high triglyceride-related risk

• Swallow Trichek 200 mg Capsule whole with a glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; do not open, crush, or chew the capsule.
• Take it with food if your doctor or pharmacist advises, since fenofibrate products are commonly taken with meals for better absorption.
• Try to take it at the same time each day.

• Do not take extra capsules to make up for a missed dose unless your prescriber tells you to.

Each Trichek 200 mg Capsule provides 200 mg of fenofibrate, which is a higher prescription-strength dose and should be used only as directed by a clinician. Depending on the patient and the specific treatment goal, it may be taken once daily; the maximum daily amount should be set by the prescribing doctor, and patients should not exceed the prescribed dose.

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