How it Works

How Fenofibrate and Metformin Work Fenofibrate and metformin is a combination of two medications: fenofibrate and metformin. Fenofibrate is a lipid-lowering medication that works by reducing triglyceride levels in the blood while increasing levels of good cholesterol. Metformin is a biguanide that decreases the production and absorption of sugar in the body and enhances the effectiveness of existing insulin. Together, they provide a more significant reduction in cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart disease in diabetic patients.
