Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Fenofibrate is not recognised to be a cause of erectile dysfunction or weight gain directly.
It is known to produce inflammation in the stomach , which may be perceived as hunger and food decreases this sensation. Such people eat more than their usual and gain weight.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
