Product description
Drug Title
Lopid (Gemfibrozil)
Application
Lopid (also known as a fibrate) combined with diet is used to help reduce fat (triglycerides) and cholesterol in the blood. This drug is usually prescribed after drug treatments that have not been completely successful and is aimed at lowering cholesterol (e.g. diet change, increase in exercise, weight loss if overweight). This drug is believed to work by reducing the amount of fat produced by the liver. Reducing cholesterol and triglycerides lowers the risk of heart disease and helps prevent strokes and heart attacks. The drug also helps prevent diseases of the pancreas (pancreatitis) in patients with very high blood levels of triglycerides.
Mode of application
Take the medicine twice a day 30 minutes before meals or as directed by your doctor. Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. It is recommended to take it at the same time each day. The full effect of the drug may produce impact within 1-3 months after the beginning of its administration. It is important to continue taking the medication even if you feel well. Most people with high levels of triglycerides and cholesterol do not feel sick.
The mechanism of action
Lopid is a lipid and cholesterol derivative. It lowers triglycerides and raises the level of cholesterol transported in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. HDL cholesterol is sometimes called "good" cholesterol because higher concentrations of HDL cholesterol are associated with reduced risk of heart disease. Reduction of triglycerides is partly due to the reduced release of triglycerides from adipose tissue in the body. One large study has shown that Lopid reduces the risk of heart attacks but does not affect the overall life expectancy of people with high cholesterol.
Missed doses
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If this occurred while taking your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not take 2 doses in a row.
Storage
Lopid is to be stored at room temperature and in a dry and warm place.

Additional information
It is not recommended to use the medication with others. Laboratory medical tests (e.g. triglycerides and blood cholesterol levels, liver function tests, complete blood count, fasting blood sugar levels or FBS) should be carried out to periodically monitor your progress or check for side effects. Consult your doctor for more information. For best results, the medication should be used along with exercise, diet and weight loss program if you are overweight. In addition, you should check your blood pressure regularly, seek medical help if your blood pressure is high and stop smoking to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.
