Indications & Clinical Uses

Fenofibrate is used to treat disorders of lipid metabolism, particularly elevated triglycerides and mixed dyslipidaemia.

  • Hypertriglyceridaemia: reduces plasma triglyceride concentrations, helping to lower the risk of pancreatitis.
  • Mixed dyslipidaemia: lowers triglycerides and modestly raises HDL‑cholesterol, improving overall lipid profile.
  • Primary hypercholesterolaemia (adjunct therapy): contributes to additional triglyceride reduction when used with statins.

How It Works

  • Fenofibrate activates peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor‑α (PPARα), a nuclear transcription factor that enhances fatty‑acid oxidation and suppresses hepatic triglyceride synthesis. This leads to increased clearance of triglyceride‑rich lipoproteins from plasma and a modest rise in high‑density lipoprotein cholesterol, thereby improving the lipid profile.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, abdominal pain or dyspepsia may occur.
  • Headache: mild to moderate intensity reported by some patients.
  • Elevated liver enzymes: transient increases in ALT or AST can be observed.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Rhabdomyolysis or severe myopathy: muscle pain with weakness and elevated CK levels.
  • Severe liver injury: jaundice, hepatitis or hepatic failure in rare cases.
  • Acute pancreatitis: sudden abdominal pain with elevated pancreatic enzymes.
  • Allergic reactions: rash, pruritus or anaphylaxis.
  • Renal dysfunction: acute kidney injury reported in isolated instances.

Precautions & Warnings

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should evaluate relevant patient factors and monitor during treatment.

  • Renal function: assess baseline creatinine and monitor periodically.
  • Hepatic function: avoid use in active liver disease and check liver enzymes regularly.
  • Drug interactions: review concomitant medications, especially statins and anticoagulants.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: prescribe only if potential benefit outweighs risk.
  • Cardiovascular disease: monitor lipid levels and clinical response.
  • Store at ambient temperature below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and light.

Avoid Interactions

Fenofibrate may interact with several medicines; careful assessment is required.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Statins (especially high‑dose gemfibrozil): increased risk of myopathy.
  • Cyclosporine: elevated fenofibrate plasma concentrations.
  • Anticoagulants (warfarin): potential enhancement of anticoagulant effect.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Bile acid sequestrants: may reduce fenofibrate absorption.
  • Thiazide diuretics: can raise serum uric acid levels.
  • Oral contraceptives: may alter lipid response and require monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lipanthyl Supra contains fenofibrate and is prescribed to lower elevated triglyceride levels, treat mixed dyslipidaemia, and serve as an adjunct therapy for primary hypercholesterolaemia when used together with statins. It helps improve the overall lipid profile in adult patients at risk of cardiovascular complications.

Fenofibrate activates the nuclear receptor PPARα, which increases the oxidation of fatty acids and reduces the synthesis of triglycerides in the liver. This action accelerates the clearance of triglyceride‑rich lipoproteins from the bloodstream and modestly raises HDL‑cholesterol, resulting in a more favorable lipid profile.

The specific dose of Lipanthyl Supra is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s clinical condition, laboratory values, and concomitant therapies. Healthcare professionals tailor the regimen to achieve optimal lipid control while considering safety and tolerability.

Fenofibrate is generally not recommended during pregnancy or lactation unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant. Physicians should evaluate the individual situation and discuss alternative lipid‑lowering strategies when appropriate.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity of Lipanthyl Supra. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

The primary alternative to fenofibrate is the statin class, which primarily lowers LDL‑cholesterol. Fenofibrate is more effective at reducing triglycerides and modestly raising HDL‑cholesterol, making it suitable for patients with pronounced hypertriglyceridaemia or mixed dyslipidaemia, often in combination with a statin for comprehensive lipid management.

Store Lipanthyl Supra at ambient temperature below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid storing in humid or excessively hot environments to maintain stability.

Lipanthyl Supra is taken orally, usually with a meal to enhance absorption. Patients should swallow the tablet whole with water and follow the dosing schedule prescribed by their healthcare provider.

Serious adverse events include rhabdomyolysis or severe myopathy, especially when combined with certain statins, acute liver injury, pancreatitis, severe allergic reactions, and rare cases of renal dysfunction. Patients should report unexplained muscle pain, dark urine, jaundice, or persistent abdominal pain promptly.

Lipanthyl Supra is contraindicated in patients with active liver disease, severe renal impairment, known hypersensitivity to fenofibrate or other fibrates, and in individuals with gallbladder disease that may predispose to pancreatitis. Caution is also advised for patients on interacting medications such as high‑dose gemfibrozil or cyclosporine.
