WHAT CHOLIB IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Cholib contains two different active substances: fenofibrate (belongs
to the group called ‘fibrates’)
and simvastatin (belongs to the group called ‘statins’). They are
both used to lower levels of total
cholesterol, “bad” cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), and fatty
substances called triglycerides in the
blood. In addition, they both raise levels of “good” cholesterol
(HDL cholesterol).
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT CHOLESTEROL AND TRIGLYCERIDES?
Cholesterol is one of several fats found in your blood. Your total
cholesterol is made up mainly of
LDL and HDL cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol is often called ‘bad’ cholesterol because it can
build up in the walls of your arteries
and form plaque. Over time, this plaque build-up can lead to a
clogging of your arteries.
HDL cholesterol is often called ‘good’ cholesterol because it
helps keep the ‘bad’ cholesterol from
building up in the arteries and because it protects against heart
disease.
Triglycerides are another fat in your blood. They may raise your risk
of having heart problems.
In most people, there are no signs of cholesterol or triglycerides
problems a

4.1 Therapeutic indications
Cholib is indicated as adjunctive therapy to diet and exercise in high
cardiovascular risk adult patients
with mixed dyslipidaemia to reduce triglycerides and increase HDL-C
levels when LDL-C levels are
adequately controlled with the corresponding dose of simvastatin
monotherapy.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Secondary causes of hyperlipidaemia, such as uncontrolled type 2
diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism,
nephrotic syndrome, dysproteinemia, obstructive liver disease,
pharmacological treatment (like oral
oestrogens), alcoholism should be adequately treated, before Cholib
therapy is considered and patients
should be placed on a standard cholesterol and triglycerides-lowering
diet which should be continued
during treatment.
Posology
The recommended dose is one tablet per day. Grapefruit juice should be
avoided (see section 4.5).
Response to therapy should be monitored by determination of serum
lipid values (total cholesterol (TC),
LDL-C, triglycerides (TG)).

for decreased renal function
