Fenofibric acid capsules are a medication used to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. As a fibrate, fenofibric acid works by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), which enhance the breakdown of fats and increase HDL (good cholesterol) levels. It is typically prescribed for patients with high triglycerides or mixed dyslipidemia and is often used alongside diet and lifestyle changes for optimal effectiveness.
- Fenofibric acid capsules are a fibrate medication used to lower high cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- Unlike fenofibrate, fenofibric acid is the active form of the medication, allowing for more direct absorption and effectiveness
- The typical dosage is taken once daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider
- While it primarily targets triglycerides and HDL cholesterol, fenofibric acid may also have a modest effect on lowering LDL (bad cholesterol)
- For the best results, fenofibric acid should be used in combination with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and proper weight management

Medication Description
Fenofibric acid is a prescription fibrate medication used to reduce high triglycerides and cholesterol levels, especially in patients with mixed dyslipidemia or who cannot reach target levels with statin therapy alone. It is the active form of fenofibrate, offering more direct absorption and bioavailability.
Fenofibric acid activates PPAR-alpha receptors to enhance fat metabolism, increases HDL (good cholesterol), lowers triglycerides, and may also help reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) slightly.
How To Use:
Usually taken once daily with or without food
Best results when combined with proper diet, exercise, and weight management
Not intended for patients with severe kidney or liver dysfunction

Fenofibric Acid Side Effects
Fenofibric acid side effects may include mild stomach or abdominal pain, back pain, headache, runny or stuffy nose, nausea, constipation, respiratory problems, and infrequently, gallstones and liver problems.
