Lipofen? Lipophen is a common misspelling of Lipofen.
People with unhealthy cholesterol levels or high triglycerides may benefit from Lipofen® (fenofibrate). This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as fibrates. It works by increasing the activity of a certain enzyme that breaks down triglyceride-rich particles and increases their removal from the body. This action helps to lower bad cholesterol, increase good cholesterol, and decrease triglycerides. This drug comes in capsule form and should be taken once a day with a meal.
