Uses of Gempid Tablets 600mg

Gempid Tablets 600mg is used to lower very high levels of triglycerides, a type of blood fat, and in some people to improve cholesterol by raising ‘good’ HDL cholesterol. It is usually prescribed when diet, exercise, weight loss and other medicines such as statins are unsuitable or not enough. Bringing down very high triglycerides also reduces the risk of pancreatitis.

How Gempid Tablets 600mg works

Gemfibrozil activates PPAR-alpha, a switch inside liver and muscle cells that controls how fat is handled. This speeds up the breakdown of triglyceride-rich particles in the blood and reduces their production by the liver, while also raising HDL cholesterol.
