Fenofibrate/simvastatin, sold under the brand name Cholib, is a fixed-dose combination medication used to treat abnormal blood lipid levels when used in combination with a low-fat diet and exercise.[1] It contains fenofibrate and simvastatin.[1]

It was approved for use in the European Union in August 2013.[1]

Medical uses[edit]

Fenofibrate/simvastatin is indicated as adjunctive therapy to diet and exercise in high cardiovascular risk adults with mixed dyslipidemia to reduce triglycerides and increase HDL C levels when LDL C levels are adequately controlled with the corresponding dose of simvastatin monotherapy.[1]
