Lipidil Supra® 160 mg Tablets for High Triglycerides and HDL Support

What Lipidil Supra® Is and How It Works

Lipidil Supra® 160 mg is a brand of fenofibrate. It is a fibrate used to lower high triglycerides and improve mixed cholesterol disorders. Many people choose Lipidil Supra without insurance to reduce their out-of-pocket costs while staying on therapy. YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy headquartered in Manitoba; prescriptions are reviewed by licensed pharmacists before dispensing.

Fenofibrate activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α). This action increases the breakdown and clearance of triglyceride-rich particles. It also reduces apolipoprotein C-III, which lifts the inhibition on lipoprotein lipase. The result is lower very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) production, reduced triglycerides, and a rise in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) may fall modestly.

Your prescriber may recommend Lipidil Supra® as an add-on to diet and exercise. It is commonly used for severe hypertriglyceridemia to reduce pancreatitis risk. It also helps in mixed dyslipidemia when triglycerides remain high. The usual route is oral, once daily.

Along with treatment, you will likely continue a heart-healthy diet and regular activity. Periodic blood tests check your lipid response and safety labs. Your clinician may adjust the dose or switch formulations if kidney function requires it.

Dosage and Usage

• Take Lipidil Supra® 160 mg once daily with food, at the same time each day.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or split.
• Your clinician will check fasting lipids after 4–8 weeks and may adjust therapy.
• If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose. Skip the missed dose if needed. Do not double doses.
• If you also take a bile acid sequestrant (e.g., cholestyramine), take fenofibrate at least 1 hour before or 4–6 hours after the sequestrant.
• Tell your prescriber about all medicines and supplements. Warfarin may need a dose change with closer INR monitoring.
• Report new muscle pain, weakness, dark urine, or severe stomach pain promptly.
• Routine labs may include lipids, liver enzymes, creatinine, and creatine kinase if muscle symptoms occur.

• Store tablets at room temperature, about 15–30 °C (59–86 °F), in a dry place.
• Keep in the original container with the label, and out of children’s reach.
• Protect from moisture and excess heat. Do not freeze.
• When you travel, pack your supply in carry-on luggage. Keep it with you, not in checked bags.
• Bring enough tablets for the trip plus a few extra days.
• If your medicine was exposed to heat above 30 °C for a long period, ask a pharmacist if it is still suitable to use.

Benefits and Savings

Lipidil Supra® helps lower triglycerides, often by 30–50% in clinical use. HDL may increase, and non-HDL cholesterol improves. This can be important in people with metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes who have persistent high triglycerides. Once-daily dosing with food supports adherence.

Buying from a Canadian pharmacy can reduce your Lipidil Supra price. Typical savings are 60–80% versus many US retail prices. Multi-month supplies may lower the per-month Lipidil Supra cost. This can be helpful if you pay a Lipidil Supra cash price or Lipidil Supra without insurance price.

Side Effects and Safety

• Stomach pain or indigestion
• Nausea, diarrhea, or constipation
• Headache or dizziness
• Back or joint pain
• Rash or mild itching
• Increased liver enzymes on blood tests
• Small, usually reversible increases in serum creatinine
• Fatigue
• Upper respiratory symptoms

Serious effects are uncommon but can include myopathy or rhabdomyolysis (muscle injury), gallstones, pancreatitis, liver injury, and venous thromboembolism. Risk of muscle effects increases when used with certain statins or in renal impairment. Warfarin interaction can increase bleeding risk; monitor INR. Seek urgent care for severe abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or marked muscle weakness. Fenofibrate does not cause low blood sugar; hypoglycemia is a concern mainly with insulin or sulfonylureas.

Onset Time

Initial triglyceride and cholesterol changes often appear within 2–4 weeks. Your prescriber may recheck a fasting lipid panel at 4–8 weeks to assess response and adjust therapy. Some people see continued improvement over several months as adherence, diet, and weight management align with therapy.

Symptoms are not a reliable guide. Blood testing is the best way to measure progress on Lipidil Supra® 160 mg.

Compare With Alternatives

Statins are first-line to reduce LDL and cardiovascular risk. If your main issue is high LDL, a statin such as rosuvastatin (brand Crestor®) may be preferred. Fibrates target high triglycerides and low HDL. Some patients need both approaches under medical supervision.

Generic Fenofibrate offers the same active ingredient as Lipidil Supra®. Your prescriber may choose a specific formulation based on dose needs, meal requirements, and kidney function. Atorvastatin is another statin option that pairs with lifestyle changes to address LDL. Your clinician will match therapy to your lipid profile and risk factors.

Combination Therapy

• Fenofibrate with a statin for mixed dyslipidemia, using a moderate statin dose and monitoring for muscle symptoms.
• Fenofibrate with prescription omega‑3 fatty acids to target very high triglycerides.
• Fenofibrate with ezetimibe if LDL needs more reduction and statin therapy is limited or not tolerated.
• Space fenofibrate from bile acid sequestrants to avoid absorption issues.
• Adjust doses and monitor labs to reduce myopathy risk when combining therapies.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Lipidil Supra® may be suitable if you have high triglycerides, mixed dyslipidemia, or non-HDL targets not met with lifestyle measures alone. It can help reduce pancreatitis risk in severe hypertriglyceridemia. Your clinician will review medical history, current medicines, and baseline labs before starting.

Do not use fenofibrate if you have active liver disease, gallbladder disease, severe kidney impairment, or a known allergy to fenofibrate. It is generally avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tell your clinician about muscle disorders, thyroid disease, and any history of pancreatitis or blood clots.

To reduce costs, consider a multi-month supply to lower the monthly Lipidil Supra 160 mg price. You can turn on gentle reorder reminders so you do not run short. If you pay the Lipidil Supra out of pocket rate, compare per-tablet pricing across pack sizes. Bulk purchase options and periodic Lipidil Supra discount offers may provide added value.

If you need Lipidil Supra without insurance, Canadian pricing may help you stay on treatment. Ask your prescriber if generic fenofibrate is appropriate for your situation, as it may offer further savings.
