A member asked:
What do you suggest if my cholesterol is pretty high. my doc prescribed fenofibrate, but what is a good diet to follow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
???: Fenofibrate isn't used for high cholesterol, it's for high triglycerides and they have to be really high to justify its use (like >500).
