Clinofibrate is a fibrate drug that lowers levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood. It works by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARĪ±), a nuclear receptor that regulates lipid metabolism. Clinofibrate is used to treat hypertriglyceridemia, a condition characterized by high levels of triglycerides in the blood. It is also used to treat mixed dyslipidemia, a condition characterized by high levels of triglycerides, low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Clinofibrate is effective in lowering triglyceride levels by increasing the breakdown of triglycerides and reducing the production of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol. It also increases HDL cholesterol levels by stimulating the production of HDL cholesterol. Clinofibrate is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause side effects such as muscle pain, nausea, and diarrhea. Clinofibrate is also known to interact with other medications, so it is important to talk to your doctor about all of the medications you are taking before starting clinofibrate. Clinofibrate is a valuable drug for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia. It is a safe and effective treatment option when used appropriately.'
