Understanding Fenofibrate: Your Cholesterol's Smart Manager
Fenofibrate is a powerful fibrate medication (lipid-modifying agent) that has been helping Filipinos manage high cholesterol and high triglycerides for decades. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition, you can be confident this is a government-approved, evidence-based treatment for controlling unhealthy blood fats and protecting your heart.
How Fenofibrate Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your bloodstream is like a highway where fat particles (cholesterol and triglycerides) are traffic jams waiting to happen. Fenofibrate acts like a "smart traffic controller" that:
- Reduces bad cholesterol (LDL) - the sticky fat that clings to artery walls
- Lowers triglycerides - the blood fats that make your blood thick and sludgy
- Boosts good cholesterol (HDL) - the "cleanup crew" that removes excess cholesterol
- Prevents pancreatitis - a dangerous inflammation caused by very high triglycerides

- Bumababa ang triglycerides - ang taba sa dugo na nagpapakapal nito
