Frequently asked questions

Normal total cholesterol levels should be between 125 to 200 mg/dL, with LDL less than 100 mg/dL and HDL 40 mg/dL or higher.
You can schedule a lipid profile test at an accredited laboratory, which measures total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and the cholesterol-to-HDL ratio. Fasting for 10-12 hours before the test may be required. Consult your doctor to interpret the results.
Yes, Choline fenofibrate can potentially harm the liver and may cause serious or life-threatening damage. Notify your doctor immediately if you experience severe upper right abdominal pain, dark urine, clay-colored stools, fatigue, itching, or jaundice.
Choline fenofibrate, combined with a low-fat diet and other medications, is used to lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL (good cholesterol), thereby reducing the risk of heart disease.
Common symptoms of high cholesterol include chest pain, pain in the neck, jaw, upper abdomen, or back, extreme fatigue, difficulty breathing, and numbness or coldness in the extremities.
Medication is typically recommended when LDL levels exceed 190 mg/dL or if there is a history of heart attack or stroke. Always consult your doctor before starting any medication.
It is recommended to avoid breastfeeding during treatment with Choline fenofibrate and for 5 days after the last dose. Consult your doctor regarding medication use while breastfeeding.
Stopping Choline fenofibrate can lead to a rise in blood cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease. Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication, as they may recommend dietary and lifestyle changes.
High cholesterol can lead to arterial buildup, narrowing blood vessels and reducing blood flow to the heart, which increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
LDL, or low-density lipoprotein, is known as bad cholesterol because it contributes to cholesterol buildup in the blood, leading to blockages that can cause heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease.
HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, is referred to as good cholesterol because it transports cholesterol from the blood to the liver for removal, thereby lowering the risk of heart disease.
Foods high in cholesterol to avoid include red meats (like lamb and pork), packaged and fried foods, full-fat dairy products, and processed meats (such as sausage and bacon).
It is advisable to avoid alcohol while taking Choline fenofibrate, as it may increase the risk of liver damage. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
Before starting treatment, inform your doctor of any history of gallbladder, liver, or kidney disease, as Choline fenofibrate may not be suitable for you.
To improve the effectiveness of Choline fenofibrate, adopt a low-fat diet, engage in regular exercise, reduce body weight, and limit alcohol consumption.
