Wow, I wasn't aware of Tricor causing elevation of blood sugar. Seems I need to research Tricor a bit more.
Its particularly worse combined with tricor. The pain actually feels like its in my bones at the joints. I have taken tricor for almost 20 years and I just started having this problem about 6-8 months ago. The pain in the morning makes me feel like I am 100 and my body is betraying me! This is what I noticed that changed. I initially started off on the brand name fenofibrate, Tricor - had no problems. Then they added Crestor(name brand) because that was the only people that made it.
My husband resisted his suggestion of doing a cath, so he was given a prescription for Tricor 145mg. The doctor drew a diagram of the procedure that was used and in the area where there is apparently blockage a T was used to do 2 bypasses. The cardiologist seemed concerned that a stent may be difficult or impossible to place there. My questions are: 1: How can blockage occur so soon after surgery and should we expect more of the same in the near future?
My brother and I both have this and it is totally under control with meds for both of us. My triglycerides were over 2100 before I started taking Tricor. My brother takes Tricor and Lovastatin. Both of us now have normal readings.
(I just moved so needed a new physician) and I have Medicaid so my options are a bit limited and the place I chose is actually a branch off of where I was going before. Okay well this place here.. wow like so ghetto. They don't even have nurse practitioners or real Doctors till one pm. My appointment was stupid. I thought they would have everything together and know what needs to be done. Nope. Have to wait another week and I'm 38 weeks today!
There is a very potent medicine in the drug class known as fenofibrates, named Tricor that was created to specifically reduce triglycerides. It works great, but carries the same warnings as statins. Also, Tricor should not be taken with statins but sometimes is in very extreme cases of total high cholesterol and triglycerides. My total cholesterol at the time was 486.
In addition to that of course I have to take a statin and Tricor. Good news is that Tricor will have a generic out in May. I was also told by my pharmicist that Plavix has a generic coming out in July. Ask your pharmicist if there is a generic of Niaspan due out any time soon.
And as Flycaster has stated, with the Niacin there is a flushing feeling also. It only bothered me if I didn't take an aspirin just before taking the niacin. My doctor told me about that.
But a free clinic gets competitive pricing from buying drugs in bulk for a limited-term contract. Doctors are sometimes influenced by advertisement with new drugs,etc. a free clinic is not.
If your loved one is on an HMO, you might try care management. This is when nurses try to manage his case specially, and can arrange "managed care" contracts with non-participating providers. Especially when you find limited coverage within your network for needed specialty services, most HMO's will manage care in this manner.
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.
My Tryglecerides are reading 300 and my cholesterol is over 200, I'm on 145 mg of Tricor and my prescription went up from 20 mg. to 40 mgs of Crestor; I was wondering what the possible side effects of taking these two everyday are. If someone would please write me and let me know. I would truly appreciate it.
If so, he should immediately apply for MediCal, especially if he has no or very little financial resources. He may also be eligible for county medical services in the city where he lives. Again, assuming that he lives in California... and, assuming that he has limited finances.
Other states may operate similarly... I'm only familiar with California. My brother is in a similar situation as your dad... no health insurance and the likelihood that he has Prostate Cancer.
Yes, dehydration causes a higher creatinine reading.
I did even more research and figured out that I was prescribed Tricor about a month and 1/2 ago. I looked up Tricor's side effects and it seems that there can be a GERD type reaction and one commenter even said they had to go to the ER with chest pains. I stopped taking the Tricor and my GERD symptoms have much improved. I began generic prilosec and it didn't seem to help me. But stopping the Tricor has. My breathing has improved.
Any fenofibrate is safe to use. One name is Tricor and it does a good job lowering serum TGL's. You can also impact your TGL's by cutting out all empty carbs like breads, pastas, sugar and alcohol as it metabolizes as sugars. I would try that first unless your numbers a very high, in excess of 400.
the first two times, there were a few blockages - 10, 18 and 20%
The last time was in December 2013 with a different cardiologist (I moved across the state)
and he said I had NO blockages at all. HUH??? My lipid profiles are still horrible even with medications.
Pravacol, Tricor and Welchol.
His answer for this question was: "Those medications took the blockages away."
Of course, I am no doctor but this seems funny to me.
My trigs were over 2100 last year. I was supposes to take Tricor, but didn't. My healthy brother contacted me and told me I had to take this. It's in our genes he said. Doesn't matter how much we diet and exercise. I have been on the Tricor now for the last several months. I did fast this time for my lipid panel and I had been on the Tricor for about 3 weeks when they tested me last and my trigs had dropped considerably.
Yes, Tricor is great for TGLs. It is a fenofibrate, is very effective, has few side effects and safe with other drugs like statns. You can also avoid empty carbs like sugars, pasta and bread. Also, don't drink as that will increase TGLs. He also needs to get his LDL down and HDL up. These numbers could well be drivien by his thyroid as it controls one's metabolism which controls your lipids.
but my point im getting to is if he cant help me financially now while im pregnant then how is he gonna take on a child. His 3rd child wit other women.! But I was seriously considering tanniff , through social services... can anyone tell me or give me a little info on how it works. Can u get it while prego or do u have to wait until after the baby is born.
She then had all 3 children taken off of her and put into care (2 were someone elses) now i am pregnant social services are wanting to visit me and my partner this week. Im obvs very scared and worried. As this had nothing to do with me and my partner was not the one who neglected his girl. He has a 14 year old who he sees on a regular basis. Just neeed some advice/reassurance that they wont take my baby away from me i cant stop crying now. I dont need this.
