Effectiveness

How Fenoglide Affects PatientsFenofibrate is a type of medication that helps your body manage cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It is usually taken once a day, and its effects last for 19-27 hours. A proper dose of fenofibrate is typically between 50-150mg per day. Patients should be aware of the potential risks of taking this drug, such as rhabdomyolysis, myopathy and cholelithiasis.
How Fenoglide works in the bodyFenofibrate increases the body's ability to break down fats. It does this by activating a protein called PPARα. When this protein is turned on, more molecules are produced that help break down fat. This process can be hard on the liver, and in rare cases can cause cirrhosis or chronic active hepatitis.

When to interrupt dosage

The suggested measure of Fenoglide is influenced by the diagnosed state, for example, grave Fredrickson Type V Hypertriglyceridemia, Dyslipidemias and Hypertriglyceridemia.
