Description
Fenofibrate is a prodrug and is used to reduce blood lipid levels. In the body, this drug converts into fenofibric acid. Fenofibric acid is the active metabolite and brings about the action of reducing lipids, cholesterol, and triglycerides in the blood. This drug is used to prevent the occurrence of atherosclerosis, just like statins.

USES:
Fenofibrate is prescribed by doctors in conditions like hypercholesterolemia (increased cholesterol in the blood), hyperlipidemia (increased lipids in the blood), and hypertriglyceridemia (increased triglycerides in the blood). All these situations can be life-limiting and need treatment.
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:
Fenofibrate has an IUPAC name of propan-2-yl 2-[4-(4-chlorobenzoyl)phenoxy]-2-methylpropanoate with the molecular formula of C20H21ClO4.
PRODUCT APPLICATION:
Owing to its ability to promote the breakdown of lipids, this drug is very good in lowering the blood levels of harmful lipids i.e. cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL, and increases the production of healthy lipids i.e. HDL. Hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia are the conditions in which fenofibrate is used efficiently. It prevents the onset of atherosclerosis and hence it is protective to the heart and the vessels.
