Ligandrol and Fenofibrate

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Fenofibrate

Fenofibrate falls under HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS — the group Ligandrol interacts with.

Theoretically, concomitant use might have additive hepatotoxic effects.
In case reports, patients were diagnosed with liver injury thought to be related to the use of products containing ligandrol.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the main worry with pairing these two: both can be tough on your liver. Fenofibrate, while usually well tolerated, can occasionally raise liver enzymes or, rarely, cause liver inflammation. Ligandrol (LGD-4033) is a SARM that has been tied to real cases of liver injury in people who used it. Stacking them could mean a bigger burden on your liver than either alone.

This isn't about one drug changing how the other is broken down. It's simply two liver stressors at the same time. The evidence here is mostly anecdotal (case reports), so it's a theoretical, additive concern rather than a proven reaction. Still, watch for warning signs like yellowing skin or eyes, dark urine, belly pain, or unusual tiredness. Honestly, Ligandrol isn't an approved supplement, so please check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Fenofibrate page

“Fenofibrate (Tricor, Antara) is a cholesterol and triglyceride medicine that can strain the liver on its own, so this list of 59 supplements deserves genuine care rather than a shrug. Most of it, 38 ingredients, involves herbs that also stress the liver, ashwagandha among them, and stacking those effects is the risk that matters most h…”

About Ligandrol

What is Ligandrol?

  • Muscle building
  • Athletic performance and strength
  • Body recomposition
  • Bodybuilding cycles

Ligandrol (LGD-4033) is a synthetic selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), not a natural herb or approved dietary supplement. It is not approved for human use, is banned in sports, and has been linked to liver injury and hormonal disruption, so it should not be taken as a supplement.

About Fenofibrate

What Is Fenofibrate Used For?

Brand names: Tricor, Fenofibrate, Lipidil Micro, Lipidil Supra, Antara, Lofibra, Triglide, Lipidil EZ

Fenofibrate is used alongside a cholesterol-lowering diet in adults to improve abnormal lipid levels. Tricor (tablet) and fenofibrate tablets are indicated to lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), total cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B, and to raise HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) in adults with primary hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol) or mixed dyslipidemia (mixed abnormal lipid levels). They are also used to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia (very high triglycerides).

Antara and Lipofen (capsules) are indicated to reduce triglyceride levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia, and to lower LDL cholesterol in adults with primary hyperlipidemia when other recommended LDL-lowering therapies cannot be used. Fenofibrate has not been shown to reduce heart attacks or cardiovascular deaths in patients with type 2 diabetes.
