Lofibra Information
Lofibra is a drug that belongs to the class of drugs called fibrate. It is used for treating patients with high cholesterol levels. The drug is effective in reducing the cholesterol levels, especially in patients who are at a higher risk of acquiring cardiovascular diseases. The generic drug helps in reducing both VLDL (very-low density lipoprotein) as well as LDL (low density lipoprotein) and helps in increasing the HDL (high density lipoprotein). The drug acts by activating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor a (PPARa). This process helps in eliminating the particles that are rich in triglycerides and increases the lipolysis. Discount Lofibra can be obtained from a pharmacy with a prescription.
