Lipanthyl Supra 160 Mg 30 Tablets

Lipanthyl Supra 160 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Lipanthyl Supra 160 mg is a prescription oral lipid-lowering medicine containing fenofibrate, a fibric acid derivative used to treat high cholesterol and high triglycerides. It works mainly as a PPAR-alpha agonist to reduce elevated triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Lipanthyl Supra 160 mg 30 tablets is manufactured by Abbott Laboratories and is commonly used as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular risk reduction plan that includes diet, exercise, and lifestyle modification.

Indications:

• Treatment of hypertriglyceridemia (elevated blood triglycerides), with or without low HDL cholesterol.
• Treatment of mixed hyperlipidemia (combined elevation of triglycerides and cholesterol), especially in patients who are intolerant to statins or require additional triglyceride lowering.
• Adjunct to diet and lifestyle measures to reduce total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, and to increase HDL cholesterol.
• May be used in patients at risk of pancreatitis due to severely elevated triglycerides, as directed by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Fenofibrate – 160 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Excipients: film-coating and tablet core excipients (full excipient list and exact concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; refer to the official package leaflet for details).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Usual adult dose: 1 tablet (160 mg) once daily, or as prescribed by the treating physician.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew.
• Typically taken with food to enhance absorption, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Use as an adjunct to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, weight control, and regular physical activity.
• Take the medicine at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.
• Do not stop treatment without consulting your doctor, as lipid levels may rise again.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps significantly reduce elevated triglyceride levels, supporting better lipid profile control.
• Lowers total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and VLDL cholesterol, contributing to cardiovascular risk reduction.
• Increases HDL ("good") cholesterol, which supports heart and vascular health.
• Improves metabolism of fatty acids by activating PPAR-alpha and enhancing lipoprotein lipase activity.
• Supports prevention of complications associated with severe hypertriglyceridemia, such as pancreatitis, when used under medical supervision.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with severe liver disease, including biliary cirrhosis and persistent unexplained liver function abnormalities.
• Contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment.
• Contraindicated in patients with known gallbladder disease or history of gallstones related to fibrate therapy.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to fenofibrate or any component of the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of muscle disorders, especially when used with statins or in elderly patients; risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis may increase.
• Regular monitoring of liver function tests and renal function is recommended during therapy.
• May increase risk of gallstones; report any abdominal pain, nausea, or jaundice to your doctor.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding; fenofibrate is generally not recommended during pregnancy and lactation unless clearly needed.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney disease, gallbladder disease, thyroid disorders, diabetes, or are taking other lipid-lowering agents, anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), or statins.
