Fenofibrate (Tricor) Patient and Consumer Handbook in Thailand

What is Fenofibrate?

Fenofibrate (Tricor) is a medication classified as a lipid-lowering agent, specifically a fibrate drug. It is primarily used to manage unhealthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. In Thailand, these medications support Cardiovascular Health management, often complementing lifestyle modifications. Fenofibrate is available in the form of an oral pill. Regulatory bodies globally, including the FDA and EMA, have approved its use for specific Dyslipidemia management protocols.

Who Should Use Fenofibrate?

Fenofibrate is typically initiated for adults who:

• Have significantly elevated levels of triglycerides (fats) in their bloodstream-hypertriglyceridemia.
• Have elevated levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol or lowered HDL ("good") cholesterol when diet alone is insufficient.
• Are at increased risk for cardiac events due to underlying lipid disorders.
• Are seeking generic alternatives for established fibrate therapy.

How Does It Work?

Fenofibrate works by activating specialized receptors within the body, known as PPAR-alpha (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors alpha). Think of these receptors as the "master switches" for how the body processes fats. By activating PPAR-alpha, Fenofibrate enhances the breakdown of triglycerides and reduces the production of VLDL (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein) particles in the liver. This dual action results in lower blood triglyceride levels and beneficial shifts in overall cholesterol profiles. Since its primary action is metabolic regulation, Fenofibrate does not typically carry the same risk profile for misuse as controlled substances.

Why Choose Fenofibrate?

For individuals requiring consistent lipid management, Fenofibrate offers a targeted mechanism focused on lowering triglycerides, which is crucial for reducing the risk of pancreatitis in severe cases. When choosing the generic version of Fenofibrate, patients often benefit from significant cost savings while maintaining the same core therapeutic effect as the brand name Tricor. Healthcare providers may sometimes suggest its use in specific contexts beyond the primary indicated uses, requiring a detailed discussion with a healthcare professional.

Dosing, Administration, Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations

Recommended Dosage

Standard starting and maintenance dosages for adults usually fall between 160mg and 200mg once daily. The exact dose prescribed depends entirely on the patient's starting lipid panel results and overall health status.

How to Take

Fenofibrate should be taken orally with food. Taking the pill alongside a meal enhances its absorption, making the medication more effective. Swallow the capsule or tablet whole; do not crush or chew extended-release forms unless specifically directed.

Missed Dose

If you forget a dose of Fenofibrate, take it as soon as you remember, provided it is still several hours before your next scheduled dose. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the forgotten one entirely. Do not increase the dose to make up for a missed application.

Overdose

In case of a suspected overdose, seek immediate medical attention or contact a local poison control resource. Symptoms might include Nausea or vomiting; however, significant acute toxicity is rare.

Special Populations

• Elderly Patients: Dosing adjustments may be necessary, particularly if kidney function is reduced.
• Patients with Hepatic Impairment: Fenofibrate is generally contraindicated or requires extreme caution in patients with severe Liver Disease.
• Pediatric Patients: Use in children is not routinely recommended unless under strict specialist guidance.

Lifestyle & Diet

To maximize the effectiveness, continue to adhere to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet as advised by your healthcare provider. Regular, moderate exercise should be maintained. Certain fats, particularly highly fatty meals, can interfere with optimal absorption of Fenofibrate.

Precautions and Warnings

Caution is advised when using Fenofibrate in patients with pre-existing gallstone disease, as fibrates can potentially increase cholesterol secretion into bile. Routine monitoring of liver enzymes (LFTs) is often required, especially when starting therapy or increasing the dosage. Patients should report any unexplained, persistent Muscle Pain or tenderness immediately, as this can be a sign of muscle toxicity (Myopathy).

Drug Interactions

Potential Side Effects

Common Side Effects

These generally do not require stopping the medication:

• Mild abdominal discomfort or nausea.
• Increased flatulence or bloating.
• Mild elevation in serum creatinine levels.

Less Common Side Effects

• Slightly elevated liver enzymes (usually reversible).
• Dizziness or headache.
• Skin rash.

Serious Side Effects

Seek immediate medical review if you experience:

• Severe, unexplained muscle Pain, weakness, or fever (potential myopathy/rhabdomyolysis).
• Jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes).
• Severe vomiting or persistent abdominal pain.

Who Should Avoid This Medication?

Fenofibrate is generally contraindicated, meaning it should not be used, in individuals who:

• Have active, primary liver failure.
• Have pre-existing gallbladder disease (gallstones).
• Are currently breastfeeding or pregnant (unless risk/benefit is positive).
• Have known hypersensitivity to Fenofibrate or related chemicals.

Storage Instructions

• Store the pills at controlled room temperature, typically between 15°C and 30°C.
• Protect the containers from excessive heat and direct moisture.
• Keep securely stored away from children and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for Fenofibrate to show an effect on my triglycerides?

Significant reductions in triglycerides typically begin to appear within a few weeks of starting therapy. However, reaching your target lipid goal may take several months, requiring ongoing lab work to confirm efficacy.

Can I consume alcohol while taking Fenofibrate?

You must limit or avoid alcohol intake while taking Fenofibrate, as both substances can strain the liver, increasing the risk of liver enzyme elevation or injury. Discuss your specific consumption habits directly with your consultant.

What happens if my liver enzymes begin to rise while on this medication?

A mild, transient rise in liver enzymes is monitored but often manageable; however, significant or sustained elevation requires immediate cessation and re-evaluation of therapy.

If I am taking Fenofibrate, can I still take my existing multivitamin?

Generally, standard multivitamin intake is acceptable, but any supplemental vitamin or mineral should be disclosed to your healthcare provider, as these can interact with absorption or metabolism.

Should I stop taking Fenofibrate before getting routine blood tests?

No, you should continue taking Fenofibrate exactly as directed leading up to your routine lipid panel, as testing is designed to assess the drug's performance under normal use conditions.

Is the generic version of Fenofibrate as reliable as Tricor in Thailand?

Generic Fenofibrate approved for distribution must meet strict bioequivalence standards, meaning they deliver the same active ingredient to the bloodstream at the same rate as the brand name.

What should I do if I start noticing dark urine or unusual fatigue?

These symptoms could signal serious muscle or liver issues; report these signs immediately for prompt clinical investigation.
