Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics:Fenofibrate is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when taken with food; absorption may be reduced if fenofibrate is given on an empty stomach, although this depends on the formulation. It is rapidly hydrolyzed to its metabolite fenofibric acid which is about 99% bound to plasma albumin. The plasma elimination half-life is about 20 hours. Fenofibric acid is excreted mainly in the urine, mainly as the glucuronide conjugate, but also a reduced form of fenofibric acid and its glucuronide, it is not removed by hemodialysis.
