"How did this awful little pill ever make it to market? I felt like I'd ingested rat poison! Horrific stomach pain and vomiting. I will never take a drug just because some 'doctor' said to again! Sometimes best to, 'just say no!'"

Taken for 6 months to 1 year

"Took as prescribed for several months. Started to have muscle problems. Shoulders, hips, knees. Loss of strength in arms and hands. Also, some body itch. Stopped taking on my own. Significant change in 24 hours. Still have some pain, but as medication wears out, hope to be better."

Fenofibrate "Changed from Lipitor to Lipofen. My LDL was controlled, trigs were also good. Best result is my HDL, which was always below 40 for years, increased to 48. Have some concern about the increase in creatine level."

"My doctor prescribed Fenofibrate for me almost a month ago to help lower my bad LDL cholesterol. To be totally honest, I haven't experienced any side effects, and it has been almost a month now. I'm not doubting anyone's comments on this medication. But me, 'personally,' I haven't had any problems at all. I do hope that your doctors find the right medication to work perfectly with getting you on the right meds..."
