tricor

252327 tn?1250183976 Last night I looked up the side effects of tricor ( I started them mid December) by Christmas the problems started. Seems like the most common side effects are diffuculty breathing , shortness of breath and palputations. Most Hashimoto patients have high cholsetrol, due to the disease, not by what your eating. and I hope this post helps anyone that happens to be taking both. Me myself, I am stopping the Tricor today.
212161 tn?1599427282 I take it every night, it dropped my tri's over 50 points, great stuff with no side effects at all. I've been very happy with this med. I actually take it along with Vytorin, very happy with the results. Good luck!
Avatar m tn Actually, Tricor has a very rare side effect of causing diabetes which may lead to increase fasting glucse levels. Again, it is very, very rare, so much so I almost didn't bring it up, but I guess everyone should be aware but not alarmed. Hope I didn't confuse things!
Avatar f tn 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.
782988 tn?1242685985 Will you have any trackers for tracking new medication side-effects and benefits? These might be helpful.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn i take tricor for my trigs they were over 600 got them down to 137 in 6 weeks i had no side affects
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn Sorry, that should be Tricor :)
Avatar n tn I understand your concern, but after much research concerning the side effects of statins meds, PVC's are not a listed side effect. In fact, statin use has been studied in exercise induced PVC trials and have been shown to reduce the incidence of PVCs due to exercise so it would stand to reason that they also do not affect normal heart rhythm. Having said that, your PVCs may be anxiety related to statin use.
1462455 tn?1313081703 To lower your cholesterol naturally without side effects, do the kapalbhati pranayam for 20 to 30 minutes everyday. Check your cholesterol every week and come back to share your result, to encourage others.Allow 4 weeks to notice the benefit. Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute. Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in).
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn In women with inherited defects of lipid metabolism, there have been reports of significant elevations of plasma triglycerides during estrogen therapy. This has led to pancreatitis in some cases. I stopped using the Nuvaring immediately. Never during that whole time I was in the hospital or months afterwards did any doctor link the pancreatitis to the NuvaRing. I remember having bleeding in the hospital a week early even though the ring was still in.
Avatar m tn Drug side effects are always possible. Then there are deficiency states. One in particular is magnesium deficiency. It has been found that 4 out of 5 people in the US (or 80%) are deficient in magnesium. If you are experiencing 2 or 3 of the following symptoms, you probably are one of them.
237039 tn?1264258057 I had always said no to statins in the past because I had infectious hepatitis (not any type C, caught it from my younger brother) as a child and feared I had liver damage from that. But when the doctor called after that test I decided I would try Tricor. (fenofibrate I think is what it is) I took it for a month, then stopped, then again a month later took it for a month. Then stopped again. My brother jumped all over me this year and is forcing me to take it.
Avatar f tn ve been using suboxone for 11 months 14 mg a day I get severe muscle cramps in my legs calfskin bad and sometimes hands I was wondering if other people are suffering from these side effects
Avatar f tn I also started taking fertil aid and I noticed that it regulated my period. Now my period comes every 28 days. I haven't gotten pregnant yet, but, this month Oct.2009 my period came two days early. It was very light spotting, pinkish and brown color. It was like this for three days. My period was due on the 5th and it came on the 3rd. I thought it was implantation bleeding but then on the 4th day it came hard and heavy with ridiculous painful cramps.
929728 tn?1256162688 i take it at night also, i would rather sleep off my hot flashes then be dripping at work. i think i just respond poorly to hormones, i had a lot of side effects when i was on bc 4 years ago. don't let my experience change your views, we are all different who knows you may not have any side effects. good luck, i hope it works!
Avatar f tn 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.
822804 tn?1298226302 Have they suggested taking a statin? My trigs are actually over 2100. I take Tricor to keep these down.
746512 tn?1388807580 I was just wondering if anyone here gets side effects from taking albuterol. I have only had the inhaler for about 2 weeks and notice very painful calf muscle cramps that occur a couple hours after taking the inhaler (suppose to pre-treat for a lecture hall that really bugs me). They seem to be getting worse with every dose (only noticed the last couple of times of using it), today my legs are still very sore and crampy and I took the dose 10 hours ago.
Avatar m tn Will a herniated disc cause stomach cramps, and if so, what can I do to relieve the cramps. Should I be using ice packs on my back? I am wondering if there are any exercises that will improve the herniated disc problem, but I am mostly concerned about the cramps, if it is being caused by the herniated disc. I dont have any other symptoms, like a virus or anything.
