Lopid is a tablet that is taken orally twice daily, 30 minutes prior to the morning and evening meals, as per your doctor’s instructions. The appropriate dosage will be determined by your medical condition and response to treatment. If you are taking other drugs, such as bile acid-binding resins (e.g., cholestyramine or colestipol), to lower your cholesterol, you should take gemfibrozil at least 1 hour before or 4-6 hours after taking these medications. This is because bile acid-binding resins can interfere with gemfibrozil’s absorption.
To experience the full benefits of this medication, take it regularly at the same time each day. Even if you feel well, continue taking the medication as prescribed, as most people with high cholesterol/triglyceride do not experience symptoms. Remember to adhere to your doctor’s recommended diet and exercise regime, as it may take up to 3 months to see the full effect of the medication.
When administer gemfibrozil (Lopid), it is recommended to take one tablet (600 mg) orally, twice a day, at least 30 minutes prior to breakfast and dinner.
