Your healthcare professionals (e.g., doctor or pharmacist) may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for them. Do not start, stop or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially:

  • "blood thinners" (e.g., warfarin)
  • ezetimibe
  • drugs which can increase triglycerides (e.g., beta blockers, certain "water pills" such as thiazide diuretics, estrogens)
  • drugs that may be harmful to the kidneys (e.g., cyclosporine, injectable aminoglycosides such as tobramycin, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, vancomycin)


Use caution if the following drugs are combined with fenofibrate because serious side effects such as muscle injury (myopathy) infrequently could occur:

  • "statins" (e.g., lovastatin, pravastatin)
  • high-dose niacin (1 gram or more per day)


This document does not contain all possible interactions. Therefore, before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.
