Need advise on Tablet
Hello Doctor,
My husband is having high tryglycerides. He was taking Rosuvas F 10 earlier. We have now consulted a cardiologist and he has prescribed Lipicard 160 mg for 2 months and do a lipid test again. Here in local shops, they have FINOBRATE 160 mg instead of Lipicard tablets.
Can this FINOBRATE be taken instead of Lipicard?? or can we go ahead and buy the Rosuvas F 10 which he was using earlier?
Kindly help.

Lipicard is the tablet brand name and Fenofibrate is the drug in the tablet.
Both are one and the same.
You please go ahead with buying the Fenofibrate tablet.
