An Introduction to Lofibra Side Effects

As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Lofibra^® (fenofibrate). However, not everyone who takes Lofibra will experience side effects; in fact, most people tolerate the drug quite well. If side effects do occur, they are generally minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or a healthcare professional. In previous research studies, up to 5 percent of people taking Lofibra stopped their medicine because of side effects.

The use of Lofibra has been associated with a rare but serious side effect known as rhabdomyolysis (serious breakdown of muscles). Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if accompanied by a fever or unusual tiredness (see Lofibra and Muscle Pain).

(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Lofibra. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Lofibra side effects with you.)
