Kann ich Fenofibrat und Paracetamol zusammen einnehmen?

Warum das passiert

Fenofibrate and paracetamol are processed by different pathways in the liver and do not interfere with how the body absorbs, breaks down, or removes either drug.

You can take these medicines together as prescribed. Always follow the recommended dosage on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. If you have pre-existing liver or kidney problems, consult your doctor before taking any new medications.

Muscle pain or weakness - fenofibrate

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness. This can rarely lead to serious kidney problems. The risk is higher if you also take a 'statin' medicine.

Lebergesundheit und Dosierungssicherheit

Never take more than the recommended dose, and do not take paracetamol with any other products containing paracetamol (such as cold and flu remedies). Even a small overdose can cause serious, permanent liver damage.

Gallstones or gallbladder disease

Do not take fenofibrate if you have gallbladder disease or a history of gallstones, as fenofibrate can increase the risk of developing stones.

Schwere Nieren- oder Lebererkrankung

Fenofibrate must not be used if you have severe kidney or liver problems.

Alkohol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol when taking paracetamol. Combining alcohol and paracetamol increases the risk of serious liver damage.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol when taking fenofibrate. Fenofibrate is used to lower fats (lipids) in the blood, and drinking alcohol can increase your triglyceride levels, making the medicine less effective. Additionally, both alcohol and fenofibrate can put strain on your liver; combining them increases the risk of liver damage.

The way you take fenofibrate depends on the specific brand and formulation you have been prescribed. Some versions (such as standard tablets or capsules) must be taken with food to help the body absorb the medicine properly. Other versions (such as 'micronised' or 'supracontin' tablets) can be taken with or without food. Check your patient information leaflet or ask your pharmacist which type you have.
