Lofibra may take several weeks to show its full effect on cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Continue taking the medication as prescribed, even if you feel well.
When can I stop taking fenofibrate?
Liver enzymes need to be periodically monitored and fenofibrate should be discontinued if liver enzymes reach three times the upper limit of normal. In some people, fenofibrate may severely depress HDL cholesterol levels.
Is fenofibrate safe for kidneys?
Fenofibrate is also useful in reducing cardiovascular outcomes and the progression of renal disease among patients with type 2 diabetes not yet requiring dialysis. While the lipid-lowering therapy is effective in patients with the nephrotic syndrome, no long-term outcome studies regarding hard outcomes are available.
How often do I need to check my lipid levels while taking fenofibrate?
Typically, you will need to get lab work done every 4 to 8 weeks to check your cholesterol levels and to see if fenofibrate is working for you.
