Fenofibrate is a medication used to reduce cholesterol levels, particularly triglycerides, and to increase HDL (good cholesterol) in the blood. It is commonly prescribed for patients with high cholesterol or mixed dyslipidemia to help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Fenofibrate works by activating enzymes that break down fats in the blood and is typically used alongside a proper diet and lifestyle changes.

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.
