Fenocor-200 Capsule contains fenofibrate (200 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

Lipolysis Increase: Fenofibrate boosts the breakdown and elimination of triglyceride-rich particles from your blood. Triglycerides are a type of fat that, when present in excess, can lead to health issues such as heart disease.
HDL Synthesis Enhancement: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is often termed 'good' cholesterol. Fenofibrate aids in the production of more HDL cholesterol, which helps to remove 'bad' cholesterol from your body.
Triglyceride and LDL Reduction: Besides enhancing the breakdown and removal of triglycerides, fenofibrate also reduces their synthesis in your body. Similarly, it lessens the production of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) or 'bad' cholesterol.
Fatty Acid Breakdown Increase: Fenofibrate aids in boosting the breakdown of fatty acids within your liver. This process helps maintain a healthy balance of fats in your body.
