Abstract
Lipanthyl, also known as fenofibrate, is a lipid-lowering medication commonly used in the elderly population to manage dyslipidemia. Understanding the pharmacokinetics of Lipanthyl in the elderly is crucial for optimizing medication dosing and minimizing adverse effects. This essay aims to review the pharmacokinetics of Lipanthyl in the elderly, focusing on absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Additionally, the potential effects of aging on Lipanthyl pharmacokinetics will be discussed.
