Abstract

The classic role of fenofibrate in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, especially the lowering of pro-atherogenic fractions, is discussed. However, its role in the treatment of other concomitant metabolic disorders, including metabolic syndrome, diabetes and hyperuricemia, has been emphasized. Pleiotropic effects of the drug have been described to explain the reduction of adverse cardiovascular events in patients treated with fenofibrate. The drug works well in combination therapy, is well tolerated, and the function of the kidneys and liver should be monitored periodically.
