What is Lopid 300MG Cap 10S used for?

Treatment of high blood triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia) and mixed dyslipidemia; used to reduce risk of pancreatitis in very high triglycerides and as an adjunct to diet and lifestyle changes.

How Lopid 300MG Cap 10S Works

Gemfibrozil is a fibrate that activates PPAR-α, increasing lipoprotein lipase activity and fatty-acid oxidation. This lowers triglycerides and VLDL and can modestly raise HDL cholesterol.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
