Third, fibrates were found to have their own anti-inflammatory actions, independent of their lipid-modifying activity
There are circumstances in which gemfibrozil may be the only available fibrate, cost may be a consideration, or fenofibrate may not be tolerated

Background: Atherosclerosis is a long-term, chronic inflammatory disease that is exacerbated in patients with diabetes
(ACCORD) study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fenofibrate plus simvastatin combination therapy in type 2 diabetes patients Fenofibrate
Ninety patients were assigned into three groups and received atorvastatin (10-40 mg/day) or These data suggest that statin and fenofibrate combination therapy is a potential alternative to statin alone in CAD patients with high levels of non-HDLc
