Gemfibrozil medication aids in reducing the levels of triglycerides (fatty substances) and cholesterol in your bloodstream especially if you are already at risk for pancreatic disease. That is why doctors usually prescribe Gemfibrozil medication together with changes in the diet (i.e. restriction of fat and cholesterol intake).

Other uses

Doctors also prescribe Gemfibrozil medication for people who have a combination of high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and low HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and triglyceride levels. HDL and LDL are known as "good" and "bad" cholesterols respectively.

How it works

Gemfibrozil is a kind of fibrate. It is a type of medication for the regulation of lipids and it works by reducing triglyceride production in your liver. Keep in mind that the accumulation of fats and cholesterol on your artery walls can decrease blood flow, which can affect the distribution of oxygen to different parts of your body including the brain and the heart. Gemfibrozil lowers your cholesterol levels and decreases your risks for strokes, heart attacks, chest pains, and heart disease.

The tablet

Gemfibrozil medication is taken orally in the form of a tablet. Usually, you are required to take it twice a day, 30 minutes before your morning and evening meals. You are required to take it around the same hours daily. Remember to follow instructions from prescription labels and ask for guidance from your doctor if you cannot understand it. Furthermore, take Gemfibrozil as directed by your physician.

Important notes

Gemfibrozil is able to control triglycerides and high cholesterol levels but it cannot cure them. However, remember to take your prescribed medication even if you already feel okay. Never stop unless your doctor says so. Furthermore, before they prescribe Gemfibrozil to you, inform them of any allergy regarding the medicine and other medications

Drug interactions

Remember that the Gemfibrozil medication can interact with other drugs so make sure to inform your doctor about other medications that you are taking before they prescribe it to you. Medicines and supplements to take note of include other nonprescription and prescription medications, nutritional supplements, herbal remedies, blood thinners, and other medication for lowering cholesterol levels.

Side effects

Common side effects include heartburns and stomach pains, blurred vision, muscle pains, and weakness. Some of them may be serious but if they become bothersome, make sure to seek immediate medical attention. If other side effects that are not mentioned or typical occur while you are undergoing treatment with Gemfibrozil, report them to your doctor immediately.
