I know that Tricor, Lofibra,Antara and Triglide are FENOFIBRATE products. Do the drugs Crestor, Zocor or Zetia contain any fenofibrate or are they a fenofibrate product?

Hi Gary,

Yes, the medications you referenced are brand names for the generic medication fenofibrate. Crestor is rosuvastatin, Zocor is simvastatin, and Zetia ezetimibe; not fenofibrate.

All the best,
