What You Need To Know About Lopid (Gemfibrozil)

What is Lopid (Gemfibrozil) used for?

Lopid (generic name: Gemfibrozil) is a lipid-regulating agent used to help you control cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It belongs to a class of medications called fibrates, which work by decreasing the amount of triglycerides produced by the liver.

How Lopid (Gemfibrozil) works

Lopid (generic name: Gemfibrozil) is a lipid-regulating agent used to help you control cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It belongs to a class of medications called fibrates, which work by decreasing the amount of triglycerides produced by the liver.

Lopid (Gemfibrozil) is typically prescribed along with a proper diet to help control fat and bad (LDL) cholesterol levels in the blood while also raising good (HDL) cholesterol. This reduction lowers the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other heart complications. It may also decrease the risk of pancreatitis (pancreas disease) because it also reduces the number of triglycerides (TG) in your body as well.

After taking the prescribed dose, Lopid (Gemfibrozil) can begin to work within 1 to 2 hours. However, it may take up to three months of continued usage before it can achieve its full effect.

Once you begin treatment, you must continue taking the medication to ensure its optimal effect on triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Even after you feel better, do not stop taking the medication unless your doctor has directed you to do so.

How to Take Lopid (Gemfibrozil)

Lopid (Gemfibrozil) is usually taken twice daily, 30 minutes before the morning and evening meals. This timing helps optimize the medication’s effectiveness by aligning it with the body’s natural lipid metabolism after eating. 

Before starting Lopid (Gemfibrozil), you must thoroughly discuss it with your healthcare provider to ensure it’s the proper medication based on your medical history, current health status, and any other medications you may be taking.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to take Lopid:

  1. Take Lopid (Gemfibrozil) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change your dose or frequency without consulting your healthcare provider.
  2. Take Lopid (Gemfibrozil) 30 minutes before your morning and evening meals.
  3. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
  4. Try to take Lopid (Gemfibrozil) at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your bloodstream.
  5. Make sure you adhere to a cholesterol-lowering diet and exercise program as recommended by your healthcare provider to enhance the effectiveness of the medication.
  6. Some foods and alcoholic beverages can interact with Lopid (Gemfibrozil) and affect its efficacy or increase side effects. Follow any dietary restrictions provided by your doctor.
  7. As your doctor recommends, regularly monitor your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, liver function and muscle health through blood tests. Report any unusual symptoms, such as muscle pain or weakness, immediately.
