General Information On Antara
Antara is prescribed to reduce bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the body. Fenofibrate, the main active ingredient in the medication, belongs to a family of drugs known as fibrates. It also increases good cholesterol levels in the body when used in combination with a healthy diet.
Antara works by increasing the production of natural enzymes that break down fats in the blood. Fenofibrate works to reduce levels of total cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, thus reducing the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart attacks. Antara also helps lower the risk of pancreatitis by lowering the triglyceride levels in the blood.
To get maximum benefits from the medication, a patient is also required to embrace healthy lifestyle changes which includes reduced alcohol consumption, getting rid of smoking, and losing weight if required.
Side effects of Antara
You should not take Antara if you are hypersensitive to other fibrates or any ingredient in the drug as it may cause allergic reactions such as severe dizziness, swelling/itching of the tongue/face/throat, trouble breathing, or unexplained rashes.
People with medical problems such as liver disease or kidney disease should discuss their medical history with their doctor as Antara can cause gallstones and liver problems.
In rare cases, some people may experience severe side effects such as chest pain, swelling of the arms or legs, unusual tiredness, easy bruising/bleeding, yellowing of the eyes, vomiting, or sign of infections (such as persistent sore throat and fever)
In some cases, Antara may cause muscle problems that may lead to a severe condition known as rhabdomyolysis. You should seek medical attention immediately if you notice a change in the amount of urine or experience weakness, muscle pain, or tenderness.
Pregnant women should avoid taking Antara without consulting their doctor. It is not known whether the drug passes into breast milk, so nursing mothers should either avoid using Antara while nursing or consult their doctor about breastfeeding before taking the medication.
Antara may also interact with other medicines you are taking and cause side effects. To reduce the risk of side effects, tell your doctor about the different drugs you are taking, which includes prescription medications, over the counter drugs, or herbal supplements before you buy Antara.
Dosage of Antara
The dosage of Antara is based on your medical condition, other medications you are taking, and your response to treatment. The dosage is decided by your doctor.
The recommended dosage to reduce blood cholesterol levels in patients with high or normal triglyceride levels is 130mg/per day. The recommended daily dose is in the range of 43mg-130mg per day to treat high triglyceride levels in a patient with normal LDL cholesterol levels.
