What is Fenofibrate Micronised?

Fenofibrate, the active ingredient in Lipanthyl Micronised, is a fibrate presented as a micronised oral tablet for oral use. It is indicated for the management of hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia in adult patients.

Our supply chain includes temperature‑controlled logistics and regulatory support for import clearance.

What is Fenofibrate Micronised used for?

Lipanthyl Micronised (fenofibrate) is used to modify lipid metabolism in patients with elevated triglyceride levels. - Hypertriglyceridemia: reduces plasma triglyceride concentrations. - Mixed dyslipidemia: lowers triglycerides and modestly raises HDL‑cholesterol. - Primary hypercholesterolemia (as adjunct therapy): improves overall lipid profile when used with other lipid‑lowering agents.

What are the side effects of Fenofibrate Micronised?

Fenofibrate may cause a range of adverse reactions, from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, abdominal pain, dyspepsia. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Elevated liver enzymes: transient increases in ALT/AST. - Muscle pain: mild myalgia without weakness. - Skin reactions: rash or pruritus.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Rhabdomyolysis: severe muscle breakdown with risk of renal failure. - Severe liver injury: hepatitis or hepatic failure. - Acute pancreatitis: inflammation of the pancreas. - Myopathy: muscle weakness with elevated CK. - Anaphylactic reactions: severe allergic response. - Blood dyscrasias: neutropenia or thrombocytopenia.

What precautions apply to Fenofibrate Micronised?

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should consider several safety aspects. - Liver function monitoring: assess baseline enzymes and repeat periodically. - Renal function assessment: adjust use in patients with impaired clearance. - Gallstone risk: evaluate history of biliary disease. - Hypothyroidism caution: monitor thyroid status as risk of myopathy may increase. - Severe renal impairment: avoid or use only under specialist supervision. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Fenofibrate Micronised interact with?

Fenofibrate can interact with several medicines, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Gemfibrozil: markedly increases risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. - Cyclosporine: may elevate fenofibrate plasma levels, enhancing toxicity. - High‑dose statins (e.g., rosuvastatin): increase risk of severe muscle injury.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Warfarin: fenofibrate may potentiate anticoagulant effect, requiring INR monitoring. - Oral hypoglycemics: may enhance glucose‑lowering effect, risk of hypoglycemia. - ACE inhibitors: potential for increased serum creatinine; monitor renal function.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lipanthyl Micronised used for?+
Lipanthyl Micronised contains fenofibrate, a fibrate class medication used to lower elevated triglyceride levels and improve the lipid profile in patients with hypertriglyceridemia or mixed dyslipidemia, helping reduce cardiovascular risk.
How does fenofibrate work in the body?+
Fenofibrate activates the nuclear receptor PPARα, which increases the expression of enzymes involved in fatty‑acid oxidation and reduces the synthesis of triglycerides. This leads to lower plasma triglycerides and a modest rise in HDL‑cholesterol.
What is the usual dose of Lipanthyl Micronised?+
The appropriate dose of Lipanthyl Micronised is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s clinical condition, laboratory results, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.
Is Lipanthyl Micronised safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of fenofibrate in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare provider.
How do I order Lipanthyl Micronised from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Lipanthyl Micronised compare with other lipid‑lowering drugs?+
Fenofibrate belongs to the fibrate class, which primarily lowers triglycerides and modestly raises HDL‑cholesterol, whereas statins mainly reduce LDL‑cholesterol. In patients with high triglycerides, fenofibrate may be preferred or used in combination with a statin under careful monitoring.
What are the storage requirements for Lipanthyl Micronised?+
Store Lipanthyl Micronised at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original container. Keep the product away from moisture, heat and direct sunlight to maintain its stability and potency.
How is Lipanthyl Micronised administered?+
Lipanthyl Micronised is taken orally, usually with a meal to enhance absorption. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed or chewed unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.
What are the most serious risks associated with Lipanthyl Micronised?+
Serious adverse events include rhabdomyolysis, severe liver injury, acute pancreatitis, and life‑threatening allergic reactions. Patients should report unexplained muscle pain, dark urine, jaundice, or signs of an allergic response to their clinician promptly.
Who should not use Lipanthyl Micronised?+
Lipanthyl Micronised is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to fenofibrate or any component of the formulation, and should be used with caution or avoided in individuals with severe renal impairment, active liver disease, or a history of gallstones.
