Mechanism of action
Fenofibrate is a fibrate derivative that stimulates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha. This action enhances the metabolism of triglycerides and cholesterol, helping to regulate lipid profiles and lower low-density lipoprotein levels in the blood.
Fenofibrate is a fibrate: it lowers triglycerides (blood fats) and LDL cholesterol and raises HDL (“good”) cholesterol. It is used for high triglycerides and high cholesterol, with diet. It comes in 160 mg and 200 mg strengths; the original brands are Lipidil and Tricor.
Tell your doctor first if you have kidney, liver or gallbladder disease. Call your doctor straight away about muscle pain, weakness or tenderness, fever or abdominal pain (MedlinePlus).
