Is Trilipix the Same as Fenofibrate?
Fenofibrate medications (Antara™, Lofibra™, Tricor®, Triglide™) have been around for a while and have patents that will expire before the Trilipix patent. These medications are similar to Trilipix, but are not exactly the same. They are not approved for use with statins, as Trilipix is. These medications are neither equivalent nor interchangeable. However, fenofibrate medications may be less expensive for some people, especially when generic fenofibrate becomes available, and may be a good alternative in some situations.
