Description

Description

Gempid 600mg is a lipid-regulating medicine formulated with Gemfibrozil, a fibric acid derivative that helps lower elevated levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood. It works by reducing the liver’s production of triglyceride-rich particles and increasing the breakdown of fats, making it a common choice for patients with abnormal lipid profiles who are at risk of cardiovascular complications.

Ingredients

Each tablet of Gempid contains:

• Gemfibrozil – 600mg (a fibric acid derivative / lipid-lowering agent)

Dosage Form

Gempid 600mg is available as oral tablets, packed 20 tablets per strip/box.

Uses

Gempid 600mg is commonly prescribed for:

• Hypertriglyceridemia (high triglyceride levels)
• Mixed dyslipidemia, when other lipid-lowering options aren’t suitable or tolerated
• Reducing the risk of pancreatitis linked to very high triglyceride levels
• Supporting overall cardiovascular risk reduction as part of a broader treatment plan, alongside diet and lifestyle changes

How to Use

Gempid should be taken exactly as directed by a registered physician, typically twice daily, about 30 minutes before the morning and evening meals. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water — do not crush or chew it. Diet, exercise, and weight management are usually recommended alongside this medicine for best results. Do not stop treatment abruptly without consulting your doctor, and attend regular follow-ups to monitor your lipid levels.

Side Effects

Common side effects associated with Gempid may include:

• Stomach upset or indigestion
• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Abdominal pain
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Dizziness

Rarely, it may affect liver function or muscle tissue, so notify your doctor promptly if you experience unexplained muscle pain, weakness, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Gempid is generally not recommended during pregnancy unless a doctor determines the benefits clearly outweigh potential risks, as safety data in pregnant women is limited. It is also advised to avoid use while breastfeeding, since it’s unclear whether the drug passes into breast milk. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their physician before starting this medicine.

Storage Instructions

Store Gempid tablets below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until use, and store them out of reach of children.
