Active Ingredient: Pemafibrate
Pemafibrate is indicated as adjunctive therapy to diet or other nonpharmacological treatment (e.g. exercise) to reduce TG and to increase HDL-C in patients with dyslipidemia characterised by high TG ≥150 mg/dL, particularly when there is evidence of associated risk such as hypertension and smoking.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
For:
Oral, 0.1 milligrams pemafibrate, 2 times daily. The maximum allowed total dose is 0.4 milligrams pemafibrate daily.
The usual adult dose is 0.1 mg twice daily. The dose may be individualized according to the patient’s age and symptoms. The maximum dose is 0.2 mg twice daily.
No dose adjustment is necessary.
Since elderly patients often have reduced physiological function, pemafibrate should be carefully administered with close monitoring for signs of adverse reactions and clinical status of the patient.
Pemafibrate should be taken orally twice daily in the morning and evening.
Pemafibrate can be taken without regard to meals.
