Fenofibrate vs Lipofen
 | Fenofibrate |  | Lipofen |  |
| 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. | 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.

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. upset stomach,tired,weakness,light headed abdomenal cramps and stiff painful neck | Add Lipofen review My trigs went from 357 down to 120 in 3 months! I haven't had any side effects either. I've tried Tricor & Advicor & my body became innume to them, so far my body like Lipofen, I highly recommend it. Since tsking this drug, I have trouble with my bowels, severe pain in lower stomach area. I tried taking it every other day, and on the days I took it I suffered with the same symptons. I was put on lipofen for my high triglycerides. We never got to testing my blood to see how it worked because I had to stop the medication. I was having breathing problems and in general felt like I was very ill! The symtoms got worse when I ran out of CoQ10 and that's when I decided to stop. Also had muscle pain. | |||
