🔹 Indications
Fenocap is indicated for hyperlipidemias of type lla, llb, III, IV & V in patients who have not responded adequately to diet & other appropriate measures.
🔹 Pharmacology
Fenofibrate is a fibric acid derivative. Fenofibrate is rapidly hydrolyzed after oral ingestion to its pharmacologically active form, fenofibric acid. Fenofibric acid produces reductions in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, Apo-lipoprotein B, Total triglycerides and VLDL. In addition, treatment with Fenofibrate results in increases in HDL and apo-proteins apoAI apoAII. Fenofibrate also reduces serum uric acid levels in hyperuricemic and normal individuals by increasing the urinary excretion of uric acid. The micronised form of Nofiate (Fenofibrate) has enhanced absorption over the non-micronised formulation.
🔹 Dosage & Administration
- For the treatment of adult patients with hypercholesterolemia or mixed hyperlipidemia, the initial dose of Fenofibrate is 200 mg per day.

- Dose should be individualized according to patient response. Fenofibrate should be given with meal there by, optimizing the bioavailability of the medication. Or, as directed by the registered physician.
🔹 Interaction
Fenocap has been reported to potentiate the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. When administered with antidiabetic drug it may improve glucose tolerance and have additive effect. Fenocap may also increase the nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine. Due to a potential increase in the risk of rhabdomyolysis, cautions should be taken against the use of Fenocap with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. However, the use of low-dose statins with Fenocap appears to be well tolerated.
