Bezafibrate

Bezafibrate is a medication primarily used to lower high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It belongs to a class of drugs known as fibrates, which work by promoting the breakdown of fats in the bloodstream and reducing the production of new cholesterol.
Bezafibrate is prescribed for individuals with high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad” cholesterol, and/or high triglycerides, which are a type of blood fat. Elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. By managing these lipid levels, bezafibrate can help decrease the risk of these serious conditions.
In addition to its lipid-lowering effects, bezafibrate may also have some beneficial impact on blood sugar control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels, potentially slowing the progression of the disease.
Bezafibrate is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include dietary modifications, exercise, weight loss, and other medications. Follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations to achieve the best possible outcomes and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.
