Lipidil Information

medically reviewed by Dr. HaVy Ngo, Pharmacist on July 22, 2026.

Lipidil and Fenofibrate at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The manufacturer of brand-name Lipidil (fenofibrate) is BGP Pharma ULC (a Bausch Health company). It is available in several countries worldwide, including Canada.

Generic fenofibrate is also available. The specific manufacturer of the medication dispensed may vary based on pharmacy inventory. Generic fenofibrate is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards.

Important Information about Generic Fenofibrate

Generic fenofibrate contains the same active ingredient as brand-name Lipidil. It must meet the same effectiveness and quality standards. This means it is designed to work like Lipidil. Studies have shown that generic fenofibrate is bioequivalent to brand-name Lipidil, meaning it has similar absorption and achieves comparable blood concentrations. However, individual responses to medication can vary due to factors such as metabolism, genetics, and other health conditions.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, please visit Access to Generic Drugs in Canada | Canada.ca.

Dosage:

Fenofibrate is available in the following oral strengths and forms:
• Tablets: 48 mg and 145 mg (Lipidil EZ), and 160 mg (Lipidil Supra).
• Generic Micro Capsules: 67 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg.

The usual maintenance dose is 145 mg once daily. However, your doctor may start you on a lower dose and adjust it based on your triglyceride and cholesterol levels.

Usage:

Lipidil is used, in addition to a healthy diet and exercise, to treat high cholesterol or mixed dyslipidemia. It lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol and VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, reduces triglycerides, and increases HDL ("good") cholesterol. Keeping these levels within a healthy range can help lower the risk of cardiovascular complications like heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.

Mechanism of Action
Fenofibrate, the active ingredient in Lipidil, works by activating a receptor in the liver called PPAR-alpha (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha). Activating this receptor increases the activity of lipoprotein lipase, which breaks down triglyceride-rich particles in the blood more efficiently. At the same time, fenofibrate reduces the liver's output of VLDL particles. It boosts fatty acid breakdown, which, together, lowers triglycerides, reduces LDL cholesterol, and raises HDL cholesterol.

Take Lipidil exactly as your doctor prescribes, according to the product monograph. Swallow Lipidil EZ tablets whole and can be taken with or without food. However, taking it consistently the same way each day helps maintain steady absorption. Lipidil Supra tablets and the generic micro capsules must be taken with meals, as food significantly enhances their absorption into your body.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before starting Lipidil, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects of Lipidil (fenofibrate). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary.

Common side effects: These are common side effects of Lipidil; other side effects are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, or concerning, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Constipation, gas, or diarrhea
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Nausea or vomiting
• Red, itchy skin or a skin rash

Serious Side Effects: Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following symptoms:
• Gallstones: New or worsening abdominal pain, especially after eating.
• Liver Problems: Yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or severe stomach pain.
• Pancreatitis: Severe stomach pain that may spread to the back, with nausea or vomiting.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Lipidil, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not take Lipidil/fenofibrate if:
• Allergies: You have a known hypersensitivity to fenofibrate or any of the medication's ingredients.
• Pre-existing Gallbladder Disease.
• Severe Kidney or Liver Disease: These conditions can significantly increase the risk of side effects.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Lipidil. This is crucial as certain conditions affect the drug's safety.
• Diabetes or Hypothyroidism: These conditions may need to be evaluated and treated before starting Lipidil.
• History of Pancreatitis that is not caused by high triglycerides.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Lipidil, discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete, up-to-date information, please refer to the product monograph at https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00037823.PDF.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements, recreational drugs, and any significant dietary changes, as these may interact with Lipidil. Lipidil may interact with other medicines, including but not limited to:
• Bile Acid Resins: Cholestyramine and colestipol can reduce fenofibrate absorption; space doses several hours apart.
• Cyclosporine: This combination may affect kidney function and requires careful monitoring.
• Statins: Combining Lipidil with a statin can increase the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.
• Warfarin: Fenofibrate can increase the blood-thinning effect of warfarin, requiring closer INR monitoring.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Lipidil is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as there is limited safety data and it is unknown whether fenofibrate passes into breast milk in meaningful amounts. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding to discuss alternative treatment options.

Use in Children:

Lipidil is not approved for use in anyone younger than 18 years old. Keep Lipidil out of reach of children.
