Lopid (active ingredient: gemfibrozil) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hyperlipidemia: Lopid is used to lower elevated levels of triglycerides and to increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in patients with hyperlipidemia.
  2. Coronary Heart Disease: It is indicated to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease in patients with elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, particularly those at risk due to other cardiovascular risk factors.

Lopid belongs to a class of drugs known as fibric acid derivatives or fibrates, which work by decreasing the production of triglycerides and increasing the elimination of triglycerides from the blood.

Lopid is a tablet that is taken orally twice daily, 30 minutes prior to the morning and evening meals, as per your doctor’s instructions. The appropriate dosage will be determined by your medical condition and response to treatment. If you are taking other drugs, such as bile acid-binding resins (e.g., cholestyramine or colestipol), to lower your cholesterol, you should take gemfibrozil at least 1 hour before or 4-6 hours after taking these medications. This is because bile acid-binding resins can interfere with gemfibrozil’s absorption.

To experience the full benefits of this medication, take it regularly at the same time each day. Even if you feel well, continue taking the medication as prescribed, as most people with high cholesterol/triglyceride do not experience symptoms. Remember to adhere to your doctor’s recommended diet and exercise regime, as it may take up to 3 months to see the full effect of the medication.

When administer gemfibrozil (Lopid), it is recommended to take one tablet (600 mg) orally, twice a day, at least 30 minutes prior to breakfast and dinner.
