Can Fenofibrate Be Taken While Suffering From Diabetes?
Thank You. Since fenofibrate and glyburide-metformin compete for protein-binding sites in the plasma and as a result both drugs are increased in the blood, possible leading to hypoglycemia, should one stop the fenofibrate in a Type II diabetic patient?

Hello,
Fenofibrate drug can be taken in diabetics. That sometimes may also reduce the dosage of anti-diabetic drugs. But in patients with mild to moderate renal dysfunction, Fenofibrate must not be used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Phanindra Dulipala
