Dosing Considerations Patients should be placed on a standard cholesterol-lowering diet (at least equivalent to the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III TLC diet)) before receiving LIPIDIL SUPRA® (fenofibrate, microcoated formulation), and should continue on this diet during treatment with LIPIDIL SUPRA®.
If appropriate, a program of weight control and physical exercise should be implemented. Prior to initiating therapy with LIPIDIL SUPRA®, secondary causes for elevations in plasma lipid levels should be excluded. A lipid profile should also be performed.
If a significant serum lipid response is not obtained in three months, LIPIDIL SUPRA® should be discontinued. In patients with renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance between 30 to 60 ml/min), LIPIDIL SUPRA® treatment should be initiated at the dose of 100 mg/day and increased only after evaluation of the tolerance and effects on the lipid parameters.
If no low dose is available, then fenofibrate is not recommended. LIPIDIL SUPRA® is contraindicated when the creatinine clearance is lower than 30 ml/min. Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment The usual recommended dose for LIPIDIL SUPRA® in adults is one 160 mg tablet daily taken with the main meal.
Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. The maximum recommended total daily dose of LIPIDIL SUPRA® is 200 mg (2 tablets of 100 mg).
Missed Dose:
If a dose is missed, the next dose should be taken at the usual time. A double dose should not be taken to make up for a forgotten dose. Administration Tablets can be taken any time with or without food and should be swallowed whole (not crushed or chewed) with a glass of water.
