Gemfibrozil, one of the fibrates, but not fenofibrate, interferes with statin glucuronidation, which may increase the risk of myopathy due to elevations in statin serum levels
In combination with fenofibrate, a 20–22% LDL-C and 25–26% Apo B lowering can be achieved, with an increase of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) as well
Fibrates, though, may be appropriate for people with elevated triglyceride levels
