Fenofibrate Health Feed

Asked for male, 28 years old from Visakhapatnam

Doctor suggested me to take lipicard 160 mg tablet for lowering my lipid profile for 6 weeks and then he asked me to get my lipid profile tested but he is not available now but in reports it is showing that my triglycerides became low so can I stop taking lipicard tablets, will it have any side effect if I stopped taking lipicard 160 mg tablets.

Dr. Abhisekh Mohanty

Cardiologist•Hyderabad

It has been proven that fenofibrate (Lipicard) doesn’t have any advantage over statins in reducing triglycerides levels and cardiovascular risk. Statins are better than fenofibrate. But I need to see your complete lipid profile report to advice you regarding the need for medicines. Normally it’s not required to start medicine for isolated elevated triglyceride level with normal LDL level, unless the TRiglyceride levels are very high > 400-500.

You can take eptoin as long as your seizures are under control and you do not develop any adverse reactions to eptoin.

As per standard protocols, there needs to at least 5 years of seizure free period before tapering and stopping medications. Newer protocols followed by some doctors believe in stopping medications even if there is 1 year of seizure free interval. It is best that you consult with your neurologist and let him decide on what is best for you.
