When is the best time to take Fenofibrate tablets?
Today I went to the hospital for a checkup and was diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia. The hospital prescribed me fenofibrate tablets. I would like to ask the doctor, when is the best time to take fenofibrate tablets?

It is usually taken during or immediately after a meal to reduce the likelihood of gastrointestinal discomfort.
Fenofibrate tablets are primarily used to treat hyperlipidemia in adults when dietary control measures are inadequate. While there is no strict limitation on the optimal time for administration, it is recommended to take fenofibrate tablets with food to enhance oral absorption and bioavailability. Doing so can reduce stomach discomfort and also help the medication work more effectively, as food can increase drug absorption and alleviate certain gastrointestinal side effects.
The timing of fenofibrate administration does not significantly affect its therapeutic efficacy. However, patients should ensure adequate rest after taking the medication to promote drug absorption and digestion. Additionally, patients must strictly follow medical instructions when using fenofibrate tablets and avoid adjusting the dosage or discontinuing the medication without medical guidance.
