Lofibra (active ingredient: fenofibrate) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypercholesterolemia: Lofibra is used to reduce elevated LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides in adults with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia.
  2. Hypertriglyceridemia: It is indicated for the treatment of adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia to reduce triglyceride levels.
  3. Dyslipidemia: Lofibra can be used as an adjunct to diet in the treatment of dyslipidemia to lower elevated cholesterol levels and to increase HDL cholesterol levels.

Lofibra belongs to a class of drugs known as fibrates, which work by increasing the natural process of lipid breakdown and elimination from the body.

Fenofibrate Micronized is typically taken once daily in the form of Tablets taken orally as directed by your doctor. Take fenofibrate one time each day as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Take fenofibrate with or without food. Swallow fenofibrate tablets whole. Do not break, crush, dissolve, or chew fenofibrate tablet before swallowing. If you cannot swallow the tablet whole, tell your healthcare provider, you may need a different medicine.

To ensure the greatest benefit, take this medication regularly at the same time each day, based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or use it more often or for longer than prescribed, as this will not reduce cholesterol/triglyceride levels more quickly and may increase the risk of side effects. If you are taking other cholesterol-lowering drugs, take fenofibrate at least 1 hour before or at least 4 to 6 hours after these medications to prevent them from binding to fenofibrate and interfering with absorption.
