Indications & Uses
Cifirate is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Ciprofibrate lowers both LDL and VLDL, and so it brings down the triglyceride and cholesterol carried in these lipoprotein fractions. It also raises HDL cholesterol. The medicine works well for hyperlipidemia where plasma concentrations of LDL and VLDL are high. There is evidence that treatment with fibrates may reduce coronary heart disease events.
Dosage Reference

Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Adults: the recommended dose is Ciprofbrate 100 mg per day, and this dose should not be exceeded.
Patients with renal insufficiency: in moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30 to 80 ml/min/1.73 m2), the dose should be reduced to one tablet every other day. These patients should be monitored carefully. Ciprofbrate should not be used in severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 ml/min/1.73 m2).
Patients with hepatic insufficiency: use Ciprofbrate with caution in people with impaired liver function. Stop the treatment if AST and ALT levels rise to more than 3 times the upper limit of normal, or if there is evidence of cholestatic liver injury.
Elderly: the dose is the same as for adults, but take precautions for age more than 70 years.
Paediatric population: Ciprofbrate is not recommended, because safety and efficacy in children have not been established.

There are no data on its use in human pregnancy, so Ciprofbrate is contraindicated during pregnancy.
