Gemfibrozil - Overview

Gemfibrozil, marketed under the name Lopid, is a medication used in managing certain patients with abnormal cholesterol and lipid levels. Push Health can connect people who need a gemfibrozil prescription with medical providers who can prescribe gemfibrozil medication, including generic gemfibrozil 600 mg tablets, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Gemfibrozil Used For?

Gemfibrozil prescription medication belongs to a class of oral medications known as fibric acid lipid regulating agents. Gemfibrozil is used in managing patients with lipid and cholesterol issues and is thought to work by decreasing triglyceride and VLDL levels while increasing HDL levels. Dietary therapy is always the mainstay of treatment for people with lipid abnormalities and gemfibrozil, like atorvastatin (Lipitor), Lovaza and simvastatin (Zocor), should only be used as an adjunctive measure to diet and exercise.

Gemfibrozil - Dosage and Cost

Many providers prescribe gemfibrozil 600 mg tablets twice per day taken orally 30 minutes before the morning and evening meals. After oral administration, gemfibrozil reaches peak concentrations in the plasma within two hours. The timing of oral administration in relation to meals impacts the absorption of gemfibrozil. Gemfibrozil is extensively bound to proteins in the plasma and is primarily excreted in the urine with a smaller percentage excreted in the feces.

Gemfibrozil is relatively inexpensive, generally costing under twenty cents per gemfibrozil 600 mg tablet at most pharmacies in the US. Gemfibrozil coupons may be available online and some insurance plans may cover the costs associated with gemfibrozil prescription medication.
