Usage

General Description

The chemical compound 2-[4-(2-methylbutan-2-yl)phenoxy]butanoic acid, also known as fenofibric acid, is a derivative of the fibrate class of lipid-lowering drugs. It is commonly used to treat hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia by reducing the levels of "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. Fenofibric acid works by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), a nuclear receptor involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism. Additionally, fenofibric acid has been found to have anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects, making it a valuable therapy for cardiovascular disease. This chemical compound is typically administered orally in the form of tablets or capsules and is often prescribed in combination with a healthy diet and exercise to effectively manage lipid disorders.
