What is Fenomax 67mg?

Fenomax 67mg is a lipid-regulating medicine used to manage abnormal levels of fats in the blood. Its active ingredient, Fenofibrate, belongs to a group of medicines called fibrates.

Fenofibrate helps increase the breakdown and removal of triglyceride-rich particles. Treatment may reduce triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B while increasing HDL cholesterol.

Fenomax 67mg is used together with a suitable diet and other non-medicine measures. These may include exercise, weight management, diabetes control, reduced alcohol intake, and treatment of conditions such as hypothyroidism that can contribute to abnormal lipid levels.

Uses & Benefits of Fenomax 67mg

Fenomax 67mg may be prescribed as an adjunct to diet for adults with diagnosed lipid abnormalities.

Main uses include:

• Management of high triglyceride levels
• Treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia
• Treatment of mixed dyslipidemia
• Reduction of elevated LDL and total cholesterol
• Reduction of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins
• Support for increasing HDL cholesterol
• Lipid management in selected patients with diabetes or metabolic risk factors

Fenofibrate capsules are indicated as an addition to diet for adults with primary hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia, or hypertriglyceridemia when diet and other non-drug measures have not produced an adequate response.

Very high triglyceride levels can be associated with pancreatitis. However, the referenced prescribing information states that the effect of Fenofibrate treatment on reducing pancreatitis risk has not been adequately established.

Important cardiovascular clarification

Fenomax 67mg should not be described as a medicine proven to prevent heart attacks or cardiovascular death. Although improving abnormal lipid levels may form part of cardiovascular risk management, the effect of Fenofibrate on coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality has not been established.

Who Should Use This?

Fenomax 67mg is intended for adult patients with:

• Elevated triglyceride levels
• High cholesterol confirmed through lipid testing
• Mixed dyslipidemia involving more than one abnormal lipid value
• Persistent lipid abnormalities despite appropriate diet and lifestyle measures
• Diabetes or metabolic risk factors accompanied by diagnosed dyslipidemia
• A physician-confirmed need for Fenofibrate treatment

Fenomax 67mg should not be started only because a person believes their cholesterol may be high. Lipid levels should be confirmed through laboratory testing, and secondary causes such as uncontrolled diabetes, hypothyroidism, excess alcohol intake, or certain medicines should be assessed.

How to Use / Dosage

Take Fenomax 67mg exactly as prescribed by your physician.

General administration guidance

• Take the prescribed dose with a meal.
• Swallow the capsule whole with water.
• Take it at approximately the same time each day when prescribed daily.
• Continue the lipid-lowering diet recommended by your doctor.
• Do not increase the number of capsules without medical advice.
• Do not switch between Fenofibrate strengths or formulations yourself.
• Attend scheduled lipid, liver, and kidney-function tests.

Food can improve the absorption of certain 67mg Fenofibrate capsule formulations. The referenced capsule information recommends administering the medicine with meals.

Is one 67mg capsule the standard dose for everyone?

No. The required Fenofibrate dose depends on the condition being treated, treatment response, kidney function, age, and the specific formulation.

For hypertriglyceridemia, reference information for 67mg Fenofibrate capsules describes individualized dosing from 67mg to 200mg per day, with repeat lipid testing after approximately four to eight weeks. For primary high cholesterol or mixed dyslipidemia, other daily doses may be prescribed. Therefore, one Fenomax 67mg capsule should not automatically be considered the correct complete dose for every patient.

A 67mg starting dose may be selected for certain elderly patients or people with impaired kidney function, followed by medical assessment before any increase.

What should you do if you miss a dose?

Take the missed dose when remembered unless it is nearly time for the next scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose to replace a missed capsule. Follow the specific directions given by your doctor or pharmacist.
