Your doctor may be able to suggest safer alternatives to fenofibrate while you are being treated with chenodeoxycholic acid. Otherwise, you may require more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

MANAGEMENT: Therapeutic effects of chenodeoxycholic acid should be closely monitored if concomitant use with estrogens, oral contraceptives, fibrates, and certain other lipid-lowering agents cannot be avoided.
