"Tricor is a micronized form of the drug Fenofibrate. The drug has been approved to treat very high triglycerides level. Tricor is given in many indications but is given as an adjunct to dietary modifications for the treatment of adults who suffer from very high serum triglycerides level, particularly Type IV and Type V hyperlipidemia, who are not favorably controlled by dietary restriction alone and are at risk of some dangerous disease such as pancreatitis.

Increased levels of cholesterol and triglycerides may not harm all of a sudden and hence, are ignored by many people. The trouble begins when their levels remain high for a longer period and then they start forming plaques onto the walls of the blood vessels since those plaques restrict the blood flow to the further organ and when it comes to the heart, it may cause damage to the cardiac muscle cell leading to heart attack. Tricor helps keeping such dangerous levels in the bloodstream.

Why is Tricor used?

Tricor is used, in associated with a proper diet to treat patients suffering from very high levels of triglycerides (a fatty substance present in the bloodstream). Tricor also improves cholesterol levels as it lowers down the total cholesterol--including LDL cholesterol (known as bad cholesterol) and raising HDL cholesterol (known as good cholesterol). The drug promotes the dissolution and elimination of fatty substances in the bloodstream.

Tricor is generaly added to treatment regimens only when other ways have failed producing adequate results. Oftentimes, dietary precautions and exercises are enough to bring blood fats under control. Similarly, it is sometimes sufficient for simply treating an underlying problem such as diabetes, under active thyroid gland, kidney problems, liver disorders and/or alcoholism.
