Fenofibrate "This drug has helped me in a month go from 432 on my triglycerides to 339. Had slight side effects (minor nausea and constipation), however, the slight side effects don't nearly come close to the health benefits I'm receiving. It has also lowered my blood sugar 50-75 points on average. I went from possibly going into the ICU to being in no immediate danger in a month or less time."

"Took this for 2 days. Horrible cramps in my stomach and my back. Bloating and diarrhea. I have colitis, so I am very sensitive to medicine. So I will be trying the natural way and increase my brown rice, eat more salmon, oatmeal, etc., and see if that helps."

Fenofibrate "Tricor did nothing for me alone, which is 145 mg of fenofibrate. After taking Vascepa alone and having some success, the doctor added 160 mg of fenofibrate, and I said I would try it to appease him. It actually did help to lower my triglycerides significantly."

"Was placed on this for hypercholesterolemia, incidentally, my triglycerides were high as well. Can't really say if this has helped or not. I suspect another medication, Abilify, was responsible for the hypercholesterolemia and high triglycerides. I quit the Abilify, and the last time I had my levels checked, I was told I was normal. Again, can't say if this has helped, can't say it hasn't."

"My triglycerides were 600 when I started taking fenofibrate. Within 30 days they had dropped to half of that (300), and now they are even lower. Simply a great medicine. At first, I thought it had bad side effects, but I slowly came to realize I imagined that."

"Two months ago I was prescribed the 56 mg dose. I thought I was okay until recently I started getting a rash and itching. I had some muscle pain, but I also take a statin, so I thought it could be that. It lowered my triglycerides from 356 to 109, so it does work, but I have to go off of it because of the itching and the rash."
