LOPID Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is LOPID?
LOPID is the brand name for gemfribrozil and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is LOPID available in?
LOPID is available as a 600 mg oral tablet.
What is LOPID used for?
LOPID is a fibrate that is used as an add-on to diet for the treatment of high triglycerides and to lower the risk of heart disease in people with low HDL, high LDL, and high triglycerides who’ve tried other options (e.g., exercise, other medications).
How does LOPID work?
LOPID is a fibrate. It works by helping to break down fats in your body. It also lowers the production of certain fats in your liver. This leads to the lowering of triglycerides (fats) and “bad” cholesterol (LDL) while raising “good” cholesterol (HDL) in the body.
How do I take LOPID?
LOPID is typically given as 600 mg by mouth twice daily, 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner.
Is it safe for me to take LOPID?
LOPID is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have hepatic or severe renal dysfunction, including primary biliary cirrhosis, preexisting gallbladder disease, a hypersensitivity to gemfibrozil or are taking simvastatin, repaglinide, dasabuvir, or selexipag.
