Fenofibratetablets are indicated as adjunctive therapy to diet: • to reduce triglyceride (TG) levels in adultswith severe hypertriglyceridemia (TG greater than or equal to 500 mg/dL). • to reduce elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with primary hyperlipidemia when use of recommended LDL-C lowering therapy is notpossible. Limitations of Use • Markedlyelevated levels of serum TG (e.g. > 2,000 mg/dL) may increase the risk of developing pancreatitis. The effect of fenofibrate therapy on reducing this risk has not been determined [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7)]. • Fenofibrate did not reducecoronary heart disease morbidity and mortality in two large, randomized controlled trials of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1) and ClinicalStudies ( 14.4)].
