How it works:
Fenolip 200mg Fenofibrate, a drug that helps lower excessive cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, is in the capsule.
How it works:
Fenofibrate turns on PPAR-alpha (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha).
This activation speeds up the breakdown of lipids and makes it easier to get rid of triglycerides from the blood.
It lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and raises HDL (good cholesterol).
In general, it lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke and helps keep arteries from hardening.
Result: Better balance of lipids and prevention against heart disease.

Medicine interaction:
Let your doctor know about all the drugs you take, especially:
Big Interactions:
Statins (Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin, Simvastatin): May raise the risk of muscular injury (myopathy).
Oral anticoagulants (Warfarin): Fenolip can make bleeding more likely, thus you may need to change the dose of the anticoagulant.
Cyclosporine: Raises the risk of kidney problems; don't mix if you can help it.
Glimepiride, Metformin, and Insulin are all hypoglycemic medications that may make blood sugar-lowering effects stronger.
Bile acid sequestrants (Cholestyramine, Colestipol) lower the amount of Fenolip that your body can absorb. You should wait 4 to 6 hours between doses.
Do not mix with other fibrates or high-dose statins unless your doctor tells you to.
