Lipidil Supra® (fenofibrate) 160 mg tablets for high triglycerides

What Lipidil Supra® Is and How It Works

Lipidil Supra® 160 mg is a fenofibrate tablet used to treat high triglycerides and mixed dyslipidemia. It belongs to the fibrate class. The medicine helps lower triglycerides, can reduce LDL, and can raise HDL. It is taken by mouth, usually once daily. People often ask about Lipidil Supra without insurance. Many choose Canadian pharmacies for value and reliability.

Fenofibrate activates PPAR-α receptors in the liver and other tissues. This increases breakdown of triglyceride-rich particles and reduces VLDL production. The result is lower triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol, with a modest HDL rise. Reducing high triglycerides can lower the risk of pancreatitis in severe cases.

Dosage and Usage

• Usual adult dose: 160 mg once daily with a meal, or as directed by the prescriber.
• Titration: lipids are reassessed after several weeks; dose or therapy may be adjusted based on response and kidney function.
• Missed dose: take the next scheduled dose; do not double up.
• Swallow tablets whole with water; do not crush unless advised by a clinician.
• Monitoring: periodic lipid panel, liver enzymes, kidney function, and symptom checks are common.

• Storage: store at room temperature in a dry place. Keep the bottle closed and away from heat.
• Travel: keep tablets in the original labeled container in your carry-on. Pack a spare supply and a copy of your prescription.
• Refills: set reorder reminders so you do not run out during trips or holidays.

Benefits and Savings

Fenofibrate can cut triglycerides by 30–50% in many patients. HDL may rise modestly, and non-HDL cholesterol can fall. Once-daily dosing supports adherence. Lipid benefits are stronger in patients with high triglycerides and low HDL.

Buying from a Canadian pharmacy can reduce costs. Many US customers see 60–80% savings compared to typical US prices, which helps those without insurance. Multi-month supplies often lower the per-month cost.

Side Effects and Safety

• Common: stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, headache, and mild increases in liver enzymes.
• Less common: rash, dizziness, fatigue, and back pain.
• Serious: muscle pain or weakness with dark urine (possible myopathy or rhabdomyolysis), yellowing skin or eyes (liver injury), severe abdominal pain (gallstones or pancreatitis), or reduced urine output (kidney concerns). Seek urgent care if these occur.
• Do not use in: active liver disease, gallbladder disease, severe kidney impairment, or breastfeeding. Avoid with known hypersensitivity to fenofibrate.
• Drug interactions: higher myopathy risk with statins; gemfibrozil should not be combined with statins. Warfarin effect may increase; INR monitoring and dose changes may be needed. Bile acid resins can reduce absorption; separate dosing. Use caution with cyclosporine or other nephrotoxic drugs.

Always follow your prescriber’s guidance and tell them about all medicines and supplements.

Onset Time

Changes in triglycerides are usually seen within 2–4 weeks. Full lipid effects may take 6–8 weeks. Clinicians often check a fasting lipid panel after several weeks to guide ongoing therapy.

Compare With Alternatives

Statins are first-line for LDL reduction and cardiovascular risk. Atorvastatin strongly lowers LDL and offers moderate triglyceride reduction. It is often preferred when LDL is the main target.

Crestor® (rosuvastatin) provides potent LDL lowering and can modestly reduce triglycerides. It may be considered for mixed dyslipidemia when LDL lowering is a priority.

Fenofibrate is useful when triglycerides remain high or HDL is low. Some patients may consider the generic option Fenofibrate. It contains the same active ingredient as Lipidil Supra® and may offer further savings.

Prescription omega-3 products can also lower very high triglycerides. They are sometimes used when triglycerides are extreme or when fibrates are not suitable.

Combination Therapy

Combination therapy can address different lipid targets. Fenofibrate may be combined with a statin in select patients with persistent high triglycerides and low HDL. The combination raises myopathy risk, so clinicians choose patients carefully and monitor symptoms and labs. Gemfibrozil should not be combined with statins. Omega-3 therapy and lifestyle measures, including diet and activity, are often added.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Lipidil Supra® may suit adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia or mixed dyslipidemia. It can be considered in patients with statin intolerance when triglycerides are the main issue. It is not right for those with active liver disease, gallbladder disease, severe kidney impairment, or during breastfeeding. Discuss goals and risks with your healthcare provider.

To manage costs, consider a multi-month supply. Per-month pricing often drops when ordering larger quantities. You can turn on reorder reminders in your account so you do not miss a refill. If budgeting is a concern, some patients compare cash prices and choose Canadian fulfillment for value. This can help when buying Lipidil Supra without insurance.
