Gemfibrozil is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs known as fibrates. It works by decreasing triglycerides and increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels in your blood. This helps reduce the risk of pancreatitis and coronary artery disease. Gemfibrozil is suitable for individuals with high levels of triglycerides who are at risk of developing heart-related conditions.
About Gemfibrozil
Dosage and usage
You should take Gemfibrozil exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical dosage is usually 600 mg taken twice a day, 30 minutes before your morning and evening meals. Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your response to the medication. It is important not to exceed the recommended dosage. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but do not take two doses at once. If you have any concerns about your dosage or usage, consult your doctor.
What Gemfibrozil contains
Gemfibrozil tablets contain 600 mg of gemfibrozil as the active ingredient. The tablets also include excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, povidone, and magnesium stearate.
Side effects
Common side effects of Gemfibrozil may include stomach pain, diarrhoea, and muscle pain. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include signs of liver problems (e.g., persistent nausea, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin) and signs of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., rash, itching/swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).
Precautions
Do not take Gemfibrozil if you have severe liver or kidney disease, gallbladder disease, or if you are allergic to gemfibrozil. Inform your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, especially if you have a history of gallstones, diabetes, or hypothyroidism. It is important to mention all the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as some medications can interact with Gemfibrozil. If you have any concerns or questions about using Gemfibrozil, talk to your doctor before starting the medication.
