Fenofibrate (INN), marketed as Tricor and under several other brand names, is a drug of the fibrate class. It is mainly used to reduce cholesterol levels in patients at risk of cardiovascular disease. Like other fibrates, it reduces both low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels, as well as increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels and reducing triglyceride levels. It is used alone or along with statins in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia.

Adverse effects

The most common adverse events (>3% of patients with coadministered statins) are

• Headache
• Back pain
• Nasopharyngitis
• Nausea
• Myalgia
• Joint pain or arthralgia
• Diarrhea
• Upper respiratory tract infection

Precautions

Musculoskeletal

• Myopathy and rhabdomyolysis; increased risk when coadminstered with a statin, particularly in the elderly and patients with diabetes, renal failure, hypothyroidism

Hepatotoxicity

• Can increase serum transaminases; liver tests should be monitored periodicall

Nephrotoxicity

• Can increase serum creatinine levels; renal function should be monitored periodically in patients with renal insufficiency

Biliary

• Can increase cholesterol excretion into the bile, leading to risk of cholelithiasis; if suspected, gallbladder studies are indicated. See "Interaction" section under Bile acid sequestrant

Coagulation/Bleeding

• Exercise caution in concomitant treatment with oral coumarin anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin). Adjust the dosage of coumarin to maintain the prothrombin time/INR at desired level to prevent bleeding complications
