TriCor for Hyperlipoproteinemia Reviews
"I don't know exactly when I started using TriCor 145 mg tablets, but I suspect it was approximately in 2004. I have obtained this drug monthly from Rite Aid drugstore, and the medication is made by Abbott Labs. Anyways, in November 2007 I suffered my first occurrence of acute pancreatitis. I underwent many hospital tests, CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, ultrasounds, of my pancreas, but none of those tests revealed a cause of the acute pancreatitis. Since that first occurrence of acute pancreatitis, I suffered 2 other cases of pancreatitis, which put me back in the hospital, and 1 other case where I dealt with it at home. Reading the TriCor warnings, it states that in rare cases, it may cause pancreatitis. I stopped TriCor, problem solved."
"The side effects were intolerable. It caused esophageal reflux and melena."
"Diarrhea is a side effect."
