What is ANTARA used for?
ANTARA is a fibrate that is used used as an add-on medication to diet to treat high triglycerides and high cholesterol.
How does ANTARA work?
ANTARA is a fibrate. It works by breaking down lipids (fatty substances) in your blood, such as “bad” cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL) and triglycerides.
