2. What is LIPANTHYL and what is it used for?

LIPANTHYL 160 mg, white, fdm coated tablet with "160" printed on one side and "Foumier" logo on the other side. It contains 30 tablets in its package.

LIPANTHYL belongs to a group of drugs commonly known as 'fibrates'.

These medications are used to lower the levels of fat (lipid) in the blood. Fats known as triglycerides are examples of this.

LIPANTHYL is used in combination with a low-fat diet and other non-ubiquitous applications such as exercise and weight loss to lower the triglyceride level in the blood. In some cases where LIPANTHYL cannot be controlled with a type of medicine called statin, it is used in addition to statin-type drugs to reduce blood fat levels.

I

Different levels of diabetic retinopathy (eye fundus disorder due to diabetes) can be seen in patients with type 2 diabetes (diabetes). This is a problem that can lead to impaired vision or loss of vision in diabetic patients. LIPANTHYL has been shown to slow the progression of diabetic retinopathy in patients with high triglyceride elevation and non-proliferative (not advanced stage, ie non-proliferative) diabetic retinopathy. (LIPANTHYL 160 mg does not replace proper control of blood pressure, blood sugar and lipid levels in the blood in slowing the progression of diabetic retinopathy.)
