Fibrates (fibric acid derivatives) are a class of medication that lowers blood triglyceride levels. Fibrates modestly effective in increasing HDL cholesterol levels. Examples of fibrates available in the U.S. are gemfibrozil (Lopid) and fenofibrate (Tricor, Fibricor). Side effects, dosing, drug interactions, and pregnancy information should be reviewed prior to taking fibrates.
For these reasons each fibrate is discussed separately. The acute liver injury from the fibrates can be severe and prolonged and, unlike most forms of drug induced liver injury, can lead to chronic liver disease and cirrhosis.

Other fibrates in clinical use have not shown a similar interaction with statins. Fibrates also cause reversible elevations in creatinine levels and, though this is not usually a contraindication for use, fibrate dose should be reduced or the drug withheld in those with renal impairment as recommended by the manufacturer.
