Gemfibrozil Tips from Pharmacists

• For maximum benefit, you should take gemfibrozil 600 mg twice a day, 30 minutes before your morning and evening meals.

• Give your doctor and pharmacist a complete list of medications and check with them before starting any new medicine while on gemfibrozil. This will help avoid any potentially dangerous drug interactions.

• Talk to your healthcare provider about a proper diet and exercise regimen to complement gemfibrozil therapy.

• If your triglyceride levels don’t improve after 3 months of taking gemfibrozil regularly, talk to your healthcare professional about alternative treatments for high serum triglycerides.
