Introduction

Lofat 200 is a medicine used to treat high cholesterol. This medicine helps by lowering triglycerides and "bad" cholesterol (LDL), while at the same time raising the levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL). Lowering cholesterol levels reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. Lofat 200 should be taken in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. You can take it at any time of day with food but try to take it at the same time each day. Most people with high cholesterol do not feel ill, but if you stop taking this medicine, your condition could get worse. This may lead to your cholesterol levels rising up again and increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. It is important to have your cholesterol levels checked regularly. This medicine is only one part of a treatment program which should also include a healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking cessation, moderation of alcohol intake and weight reduction. You can eat normally while taking this medicine, but try to avoid foods that are high in fat. Common side effects of this medicine include nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Before taking this medicine it is better to let your doctor know about all the other medicines that are prescribed to you.

Pregnancy Category Note

Pregnancy Limited available data with fenofibrate use in pregnant women are insufficient to determine a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes Animal data In animal reproduction studies, no evidence of embryo-fetal toxicity was observed with oral administration in rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses less than or equivalent to the maximum recommended clinical dose of 120 mg daily, based on body surface area (mg/m2) Adverse reproductive outcomes occurred at higher doses in presence of maternal toxicity; drug should be used during pregnancy only if potential benefit justifies potential risk to fetus Lactation There is no available information on presence of drug in human milk, effects on the breastfed infant, or on milk production; drug is present in milk of rats, and likely to be present in human milk; because of potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants, such as disruption of infant lipid metabolism, women should not breastfeed during treatment and for 5 days after final dose
