Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Lipid-lowering agent (Antihyperlipidemic): Fenofibrate is primarily used to reduce elevated levels of triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. It is commonly prescribed to manage dyslipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia.
  • Adjunct therapy for cardiovascular risk reduction: Often used in combination with statins or diet/exercise to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with metabolic syndrome or mixed dyslipidemia.
  • Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API): Fenofibrate serves as the main component in various branded and generic oral formulations such as tablets and capsules, especially in micronized or nanoparticle forms to enhance absorption.
  • Therapeutic use in diabetic dyslipidemia: Particularly beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes, as it helps correct the typical lipid abnormalities (high triglycerides and low HDL) associated with the disease.
