Aluminium Clofibrate

Aluminium Clofibrate is a prescription medication used to treat high cholesterol. It belongs to a group of medications known as fibrates and works by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver. It also helps to increase the body's ability to remove cholesterol from the blood. Common side effects of Aluminium Clofibrate include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and increased gas.

Aluminium clofibrate, also known as alfibrate, is a medication that was previously used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It was withdrawn from the market in many countries, including the United States, due to concerns about an increased risk of cancer.

Aluminium clofibrate is a fibrate, which is a type of medication that works by lowering levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol.

It is important to note that aluminium clofibrate is no longer a recommended treatment for high cholesterol. There are other, safer and more effective medications available.

If you are taking aluminium clofibrate, you should talk to your doctor about switching to a different medication.
