Purpose of Tricor
TriCor is a prescription drug used with diet in adults to lower triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol. TriCor is also used in adult diets to lower high triglyceride levels.
Tricor Uses
Fenofibrate is used with a proper diet to lower “bad” cholesterol and fats (LDL, triglycerides, etc.) in the blood and increase “good” cholesterol (HDL). It works by increasing natural substances (enzymes) that break down fats in the blood. In people with very high blood triglyceride levels, lowering triglyceride levels can reduce the risk of developing a disease of the pancreas (pancreatitis). However, fenofibrate may not reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. In addition to a proper diet (such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet), other lifestyle changes that may improve the effectiveness of this drug include exercise, weight loss if overweight, and smoking cessation. For more information, please contact your doctor.
How do you use a Trajenta
If you are also taking certain other drugs to lower cholesterol levels (bile acid sequestrants such as cholestyramine or colestipol), take fenofibrate at least 1 hour before or 4 to 6 hours after taking these drugs These drugs can bind to fenofibrate and prevent your body from fully absorbing the drug.
Take it at the same time each day to make it easier to remember. Do not increase the dose or use this medication more often or for longer than prescribed. It will not lower your cholesterol/triglyceride levels faster and increases your risk of side effects. Please continue taking your medicine.
Tricor Dosage
The usual adult dose of Tricol is 145 mg once daily.
