Trilipix contains the active ingredient Fenofibric Acid; it is used to help lower cholesterol and since it was just approved in 2008, there is no generic for this formulation.

However, I did find one other U.S. brand name (Fibricor) that does contain this same active ingredient, so you may wish to ask your doctor about switching your medication to this one, which might be cheaper.

Regarding the future availability of a generic Trilipix, I recommend taking a look into the link below for more details:

As far as dosing goes, the following adult dose recommendations are only for fenofibric acid marketed as the trade name Trilipix (TM) and not for Fibricor:

Severe Hypertriglyceridemia: 
Initial dose: 45 to 135 mg orally once daily. 

Maintenance dose: Dosage should be individualized according to patient response, and adjusted if needed following repeat lipid determinations at 4 to 8 week intervals. 

Maximum dose: 135 mg orally once daily.

I hope this information helps!

Trilipix contains the active ingredient Fenofibric Acid, it is most commonly used to help lower cholesterol.

It doesn't appear that there is currently a generic on the U.S. market, but there are other alternatives, such as the statin class of medications.

You can learn more about them here:

Have you discussed it with your doctor?
