What is Lopid?
Generic Name: gemfibrozil
Other Brand Names:
Gemfibrozil
Gemfibrozil helps reduce cholesterol and triglycerides (fatty acids) in the blood. High levels of
these types of fat in the blood are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis (clogged
arteries).
Gemfibrozil is used to treat very high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in people with
pancreatitis.
Gemfibrozil is also used to lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart complications in
people with high cholesterol and triglycerides who have not been helped by other treatment methods.
Gemfibrozil may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
