Fenoglide is a fenofibrate prescribed to treat adults with hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol in the blood), mixed dyslipidemia (a combination of high Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high triglycerides, and low High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol), or hypertriglyceridemia (high triglyceride levels in the blood) in combination with eating a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.
FENOFIBRATE is a prescription medicine that lowers cholesterol in your blood. Along with diet, FENOFIBRATE lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides and increases "good" cholesterol (HDL-C).
FENOFIBRATE was not shown to lower the risk of illness and death related to heart disease in patients with diabetes.
Do not take FENOFIBRATE if you: have severe kidney problems or are receiving dialysis, have liver or gallbladder disease, are nursing, or are allergic to FENOFIBRATE.
FENOGLIDE can cause liver problems. Your doctor may do blood tests while you are taking FENOGLIDE to check for signs of possible liver problems.
FENOGLIDE can cause gallbladder problems. Your doctor may do studies to check your gallbladder if a problem is suspected.
FENOGLIDE can cause serious muscle problems usually in patients with kidney problems. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially with a fever.
Allergic reactions, including severe skin rashes requiring hospitalization, have rarely occurred with FENOGLIDE.
The most common side effects of FENOGLIDE are abnormal liver tests, respiratory disorder, abdominal pain, back pain, changes in some laboratory blood tests, and headache.
