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).

Dr Killian and another doctor agreed
