Lipidil Supra® 160 mg Tablets for High Triglycerides

What Lipidil Supra Is and How It Works

Lipidil Supra® is a brand of fenofibrate used to lower high triglycerides and improve mixed cholesterol problems. It helps reduce very high triglycerides that may raise pancreatitis risk. We provide access with US shipping from Canada, which can help when paying without insurance.

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba. Pharmacists review prescriptions before dispensing.

This medicine belongs to the fibrate class. It activates PPAR-alpha receptors in the liver, which can lower triglycerides and VLDL while modestly raising HDL. Diet, exercise, and weight management remain essential; the treatment works as an add-on to these measures. For more on related conditions, see our guides on High Triglycerides and High Cholesterol. Many people also explore heart-health topics like Skinny On High Cholesterol and Peripheral Artery Disease Awareness.

Who It’s For

This therapy is used in adults for severe hypertriglyceridemia and for primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia when diet alone is not enough. It is not a first-line substitute for lifestyle changes. People with active liver disease, severe kidney impairment, or gallbladder disease should avoid it. Those with a history of pancreatitis unrelated to high triglycerides should discuss risks. It may not be appropriate in pregnancy or when breastfeeding. Children and adolescents are generally not candidates unless a specialist advises otherwise.

Dosage and Usage

Take the tablet once daily as directed by your prescriber. Swallow whole with a meal and water. Do not crush or split unless your prescriber confirms it is acceptable for your specific product. Consistent daily timing helps adherence. Your healthcare professional may order lipid panels and liver function tests to assess response and safety. If you also take bile acid sequestrants, separate doses according to your prescriber’s advice to reduce binding in the gut. When unsure, defer to the official label and your clinician’s guidance.

Strengths and Forms

The brand is supplied as film-coated tablets. Common presentations include Lipidil Supra 160 mg in Canada. Generic fenofibrate tablets are also available in various strengths depending on manufacturer and market. Availability can vary by country and by supplier. Your prescriber will select a strength that fits your treatment plan.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose. If it is near the time for the next dose, skip the missed tablet and resume your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at once. Aim for steady daily use with meals to support consistent absorption.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store tablets at room temperature in a dry place, away from excess heat and moisture. Keep them in the original, child-resistant container with the label intact. Do not use tablets that are damaged or past their expiry date. For travel, carry your medicine and prescription in your hand luggage. A copy of your prescription and a medication list can help at security checkpoints. If you cross borders, keep everything in original packaging for verification. We use encrypted checkout and follow temperature-controlled handling when required.

Benefits

This medicine can lower triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol when combined with diet changes. It may modestly increase HDL. It is taken once daily with food, which many people find convenient. Your prescriber may use it alone or with other lipid-lowering agents when clinically appropriate, based on your specific lipid profile and overall cardiovascular risk.

Side Effects and Safety

Common side effects can include stomach upset, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, headache, or dizziness. Some people notice increases in liver enzymes on blood tests. Muscle aches can occur, particularly when combined with certain other lipid medicines.

• Digestive discomfort
• Headache or dizziness
• Back or joint pain
• Elevated liver enzymes on labs

Serious effects are uncommon but can include liver problems, muscle injury (rare rhabdomyolysis), gallstones, and pancreatitis. Seek medical help for dark urine, severe abdominal pain, yellowing skin or eyes, or unexplained muscle pain with weakness. If you also use insulin or sulfonylureas, discuss low blood sugar risk and monitoring with your prescriber.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Tell your healthcare professional about all medicines and supplements you take. Important interactions can occur with warfarin or other anticoagulants, statins, cyclosporine, and bile acid sequestrants. Combined use with statins may increase muscle-related risks. Cyclosporine can raise kidney concerns when used with fibrates. Space dosing from bile acid sequestrants to limit binding. Avoid excessive alcohol intake. If you have thyroid, kidney, or liver issues, your prescriber will consider these when evaluating this therapy.

What to Expect Over Time

Your clinician may recheck lipids after you have been consistently taking your tablets and following dietary recommendations. Many people continue long-term if they respond and tolerate it well. Keep up with lab monitoring as scheduled. If goals are not met, your prescriber may adjust your plan, which can include diet reinforcement or adding other therapies from our Cardiovascular category.

Compare With Alternatives

Two prescription alternatives include Fenofibrate (multiple manufacturers) and Gemfibrozil. Your prescriber may choose within the fibrate class based on your lipid pattern, medical history, and current medicines. Statins remain first-line for many people targeting LDL.
