Fenofibrate vs Fenofibric

FenofibrateFenofibrate FenofibricFenofibric
Fenofibrate is used along with a proper diet to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as "fibrates." It works by increasing the natural substance (enzyme) that breaks down fats in the blood. Lowering triglycerides in people with very high triglyceride blood levels may decrease the risk of pancreas disease (pancreatitis). However, fenofibrate might not lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Talk to your doctor about the risk and benefits of fenofibrate.Fenofibric acid is used along with a proper diet to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood.

After trying 4 other cholesterol lowering drugs, this is the only one that did not cause leg discomfort or any other side effects for me.

It seemed to make me hold water. My water consumption was reduced, my urine volume was reduced, I gained a couple pounds and my skin became very dry. I stopped the medicqation after about 2 weeks and all of these symptoms went away.
