Fenofibrate Tablets Ip 145 Mg (Fenofibrate) is a fibric acid derivative that works by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α). This activation increases the breakdown of triglycerides and very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) in the liver, leading to a decrease in blood triglyceride levels and an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. It also reduces the production of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs).
