Drug

D0030 | Clofibrate

Molecular Formula C12H15ClO3
Molecular Weight 242.7
Structure
State liquid
Protein binding Highly protein-bound (95% to 97%).
Half life Half-life in normal volunteers averages 18 to 22 hours (range 14 to 35 hours) but can vary by up to 7 hours in the same subject at different times.
Absorption Completely but slowly absorbed from the intestine. Between 95% and 99% of an oral dose of clofibrate is excreted in the urine as free and conjugated clofibric acid; thus, the absorption of clofibrate is virtually complete.
Description fibrates; lipid-lowering agent; increases lipoprotein lipase activity
