Finate 160 Tablet contains fenofibrate (160 mg), which acts on the body by:

• Activating PPARα: Fenofibrate activates a receptor in your body known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). This activation plays a key role in regulating fats in your body.

• Breaking Down Triglycerides: By activating PPARα, fenofibrate increases the breakdown of triglyceride-rich particles, thereby effectively reducing levels of triglycerides in your blood.

• Altering LDL Particles: Fenofibrate also alters the size and composition of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or 'bad' cholesterol particles, making them less likely to cause hardening of the arteries (atherogenesis).

• Increasing HDL Levels: In addition to lowering LDL and triglycerides, fenofibrate helps to increase levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or 'good' cholesterol in your blood.
