Lopid Capsule is used to treat raised or increased levels of cholesterol or fat/oils. It contains Gemfibrozil, which increases the natural substance that breaks down fats in the bloodstream, thereby increasing its utilization and removal. As a result, it decreases harmful cholesterol like LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides (TG) and increases levels of HDL (good cholesterol). It may cause side effects such as vomiting, abdominal pain, nausea, flatulence, and diarrhoea. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

Maintaining control over your blood sugar and cholesterol lowers the chance that pancreatitis will recur, so keep taking your medications and getting regular checkups.
