General Description

4-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)butanoic acid, also known as fenofibric acid, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of fibrate drugs. It is commonly used as a lipid-regulating agent to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. Fenofibric acid works by activating a receptor in the liver that regulates the production and breakdown of fats in the body. It is often prescribed in combination with a healthy diet and exercise to manage high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Although generally well-tolerated, fenofibric acid may cause side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, and headache in some individuals. Overall, it is an important pharmaceutical compound that plays a significant role in the management of hyperlipidemia.
