Fibric acid

Description:
Fibric acid, also known as fenofibric acid, is a synthetic compound primarily used as a lipid-regulating agent in the treatment of hyperlipidemia. It belongs to the class of fibrates, which are known for their ability to lower triglyceride levels and increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. The chemical structure of fibric acid features a phenoxy group and a carboxylic acid functional group, contributing to its biological activity. It is typically administered in the form of its esters, which are more soluble and readily absorbed in the body. Fibric acid works by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), which play a crucial role in lipid metabolism. The substance is generally well-tolerated, but potential side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances and muscle-related issues. Fibric acid is often prescribed in conjunction with lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, to enhance its efficacy in managing cholesterol levels. As with any medication, it is important for patients to consult healthcare professionals for appropriate use and monitoring.
