After 7 years of therapy taking Crestor and Tricor (fenofibrate), I, too, started experiencing intense pain in my legs, feet, back, and arms. My Dr. took me off Crestor last month but the pain returned within a few days, although not as intense as it was prior to my stopping Crestor. I took myself off fenofibrate just a couple of days ago and "Wow" what a difference! I can actually sleep at night and notice that the pain is dissipating more and more each day.
Ever since I started taking Zetia and Fenofibrate together as recommended by my DR, I have put on pounds, am more bloated around the belly,a nd have persistent chest pains. I noticed this has occurred ever since I have been on cholesterol lowering meds, but is more noticeable in the past year with the new combination of drugs. I mentioned this to my DR and he said I need the drugs because of my High Cholesterol. What do you think?
It is used in combination with a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fat. Fenofibrate may also be used for purposes other than those mentioned.
Fenofibrate is only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes diet, exercise, and weight control. You need to follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely.
Sideeffects of using fenofibrate are severe stomach pain, muscle weakness, vomiting, fever.
my mother,55y, she got her lab result with rising in cholesterol and triglyceride about 3month ago. she started to take fenofibrate 200mg once a day. and now new lab result show normal range of all types of fat. does she need to continue with a maintenance dose of fenofibrate or it isnt necessary?
s are easy to lower, cut back on all sugars, breads, pastas and alcohol, that usually is enough. If not, you can try a Fenofibrate which is a very effective drug.
doctor has adviced me to take rosuvastatin and fenofibrate tablets.can you please tell me whether it helps to reduce weight?
Both BUN and creatinine are metabolic waste products, and the healthy kidneys keep them range at a normal level. If kidneys can’t play their job optimally, excess creatinine and blood urea nitrogen will build up in the body. Clinically, 5.0mg/dl of creatinine and 60mg/dl of BUN are two indicators of renal failure. To prevent so high BUN and creatinine level, the best method is to control them as soon as you find them just higher than the normal (9-20mg/dl for BUN, 0.5-1.2mg/dl for creatinine).
why can't his HDL and LDL be calculated?

Recently, I got my lab results back from my annual physical (my first) and was told that my creatinine and BUN were elevated. Creatinine was 2.3mg/dL (NR 0 - 1.70) and BUN was 21.3 (NR 7.0 - 18.00). I feel well and have no significant symptoms at all. I must add that I am a very active recreational athlete (mainly heavy weight-lifting 4 times a week and running 2 - 3 times a week for 30 - 45mins).
25mg/dl, so we choose only entecavir
since also nitazoxanide made my creatinine 1.2mg/dl i started coq10 that made it 1.1mg/dl and then added fibroguard and it made it 0.8mg/dl, value so low that i never had in my life, in my case it takes 3 weeks to lower creatinine and if i stop creatinine gets slowly to 1.
Tricor is a Fenofibrate which helps control cholesterol and TGLS by blocking their abosorbtion into your system through your intestinal tract. There is an extremely and I mean EXTREMELY small chance that Tricor can cause Diabetes, but it is extremely rare. How high was you fasting blood sugar level? What does your doctor say?
Let us know so we can hellp provide better help.
You can google the warnings and side effects of that one. I also take Tricor for my hyperlipidemia. But that is a fenofibrate, not a statin. Have you ever tried the grandfather of statins, Lipitor? Talk to your doctor and get the straight answers.
Post tests have stopped smoking ,started moderate exercising and am trying and to have a balanced diet. Earlier my eating pattern was bad, bowl of cereals and a glass of Juice for Brf, 90% no Lunch during the day and Dinner used to be heavy.
I still have not consulted any doctor but would like to know what are the measures to reduce my raised levels.and do i need to consult one and be on the medication.
Any major apparent risks, if there is one what measures should be taken.

It sounds like the only thing that affects a creatinine test is the kidneys having an issue, not a person taking a pill. If you think the ativan might have actually affected your kidneys, talk to your doctor.
The following is a list of possible side effects from ativan, https://www.rxlist.com/ativan-side-effects-drug-center.htm.
I have two large cysts on my left ovary and a blood test revealed that my creatinine level is 96 μmol/l. This is outside the normal range of 45-90 μmol/l for women. I was wondering if there could be a connection.
Hello All,
I have high blood pressure and I have renal panel test done every 4-5 months. This is my 4 time and my results came back with increased creatinine 1.68 ( maximum range 1.4) and my efgr was 48. Bun was within range.
Last time when I performed the test 4 months backs the creatinine value was 0.96.
My doctor switched me from tribenzor to axor as my bp reading were normal around 110/70. I test my bp at home weekly and they never cross 120/80.
However, my BUN and Creatinine stayed within normal levels. I did ask my Cardiologist and my PCP about the eGFR and they both said they were not concerned because my BUN and Creatinine were both normal. I am, however, keeping an eye on the eGFR. I may seek another opinion in the near future.
I notice that your Creatinine is elevated. Is your BUN elevated too? Have you discussed this with your doctor? You could always seek the opinion of a specialist, a nephrologist.
Meds I am currently on are levothyroxine and fenofibrate. I was on buspirone but just quit that a few days ago. I did have this happen one other time a few weeks ago, but the second time after that everything was normal, so I wasn't worried. I believe at that time I was off the meds or just starting them.
Hello, my father has a kidney disorder with the creatinine level is 3.6 mg/dl and bun is 45.4 mg/dl. This is because my father is suffering with high blood pressure, but now by the help of medicine my father can maintain his b/p in normal condition. So plz tell me my father can maintain his creatinine level in normal condition by dieting and taking his medicine regularly.
I went to my doctor for follow-up on blood tests and abdominal ultrasound results. Everything appeared normal except for a small gallstone. My question is, "Should I be concerned about my blood Creatinine levels of 1.2?" The lab reference shows normal range to be between 0.6 and 1.3, which puts me in the upper normal range. Does this mean I am progressing to renal failure issues? My BUN was in the average normal numbers of 16 and GFR was over 60.
