Fenocor 67 Capsule 10

Fenocor-67 Capsule is used for managing the following health conditions:

• High cholesterol levels, also known as hypercholesterolemia.

• High triglyceride levels, or hypertriglyceridemia.

• Mixed high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, known as mixed dyslipidemia (Fredrickson Types IIa and IIb).

Here are some simple steps on how to take Fenocor-67 Capsule:

• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water.

• Do not crush or chew the capsule.

• Remember, it's always best to consult your doctor for specific advice on how to use this medicine.

Fenocor-67 Capsule is taken orally.

Fenocor-67 Capsule contains Fenofibrate (67 mg), which acts on your body as follows:

• Activates PPARα: Fenofibrate activates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα). This is a nuclear receptor that controls the transcription of genes related to fatty acid and cholesterol metabolism, which means it regulates how these genes function.

• Increases Breakdown of Triglyceride-rich Lipoproteins: By activating the PPARα, fenofibrate increases the breakdown of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and helps in the elimination of triglyceride-derived fatty acids from your body.

• Reduces Apolipoprotein C-III Production: Fenofibrate reduces the production of apolipoprotein C-III, a key regulator of triglyceride metabolism. This leads to a decrease in very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) particles, thus reducing plasma triglyceride levels.

• Increases HDL Particles: Finally, fenofibrate induces an increase in the synthesis of apolipoprotein A-I and A-II, leading to increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles and HDL cholesterol levels. This is beneficial as HDL is often referred to as "good" cholesterol.

• Keep your Fenocor-67 Capsule in a cool and dry place, ideally at room temperature below 25°C.

• Avoid exposing the medicine to direct sunlight or excess moisture.

• Always remember to keep the container tightly closed when not in use.

• Make sure it is out of reach of children.

• Use it before its expiry date for maximum efficacy.

• As Fenocor-67 Capsule is used to manage high cholesterol, aim to include more fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet. This can help lower bad cholesterol levels.

• Regular exercise is also beneficial as it can increase your good cholesterol while reducing bad cholesterol and triglycerides. Start with low-intensity activities and gradually increase intensity as your physical strength improves. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
