See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Fenofibrate
Is there a generic fenofibrate, and is it cheaper than brand?
Yes. Fenofibrate is available as generic medicine in many countries, and generics are usually less expensive than brand-name fenofibrate products. Pricing varies by country, dose, and formulation (for example, tablets versus micronized formulations), so the “generic price” can differ widely between pharmacies.
Which fenofibrate strengths/formulations have generics?
Generics typically exist for the common fenofibrate oral formulations used for cholesterol/triglyceride treatment. The most common forms you may see include:
- Fenofibrate tablets (regular/standard formulations)
- Micronized fenofibrate (often marketed under different brand names in some regions)
Because “fenofibrate” is used for more than one formulation and strength, users searching for “fenofibrate price generic” usually get different results depending on the exact product name and dose.
How do prices usually compare by formulation (regular vs micronized)?
Micronized versions and specific branded equivalents can cost more than the simplest generic tablet options in some markets. Even when both are “generic fenofibrate,” different formulations and strength ranges can carry different generic pricing.
Can patent/exclusivity affect fenofibrate generic pricing?
Yes in principle. If a brand product still has market exclusivity for a particular formulation (for example, a specific sustained-release or micronized version), generic availability and price competition can be delayed or limited. Patent and exclusivity status can differ by region and by product/formulation.

What to check to get an accurate “generic fenofibrate” price
To find the right generic price, search using:
- Exact salt/formulation name (if listed)
- Dose strength (e.g., mg)
- Dosage form (tablet vs micronized vs other)
- Country/region and pharmacy (prices vary a lot)
- Pack size (30 vs 90 tablets, etc.)
If you tell me your country (or the pharmacy/website you’re using) and the exact fenofibrate dose and formulation (for example, “fenofibrate 145 mg tablet” or “micronized fenofibrate 134 mg”), I can help you narrow down what to search for and what a typical price range might look like based on generic availability.
