Fenofibric acid for Hypertriglyceridemia "Several weeks after using Trilipix, my hair started to fall out. Every day, I had to clean large clumps of hair out of my hairbrush. About two weeks after stopping using the drug (it was the only change in any of my routines), my hair was back to normal."

For Hypertriglyceridemia "The medicine brought my triglyceride way down, so it works (from over 600 down to 250). But I have about 30% overall hair loss. This is not good. I am a 50-year-old female, have had all testing done on hormone levels, thyroid, etc. All is normal. I am not in menopause yet either, so I am going off the medication. Will substitute fish oils and hope my next blood work does not skyrocket to 600 again."

Fenofibric acid for High Cholesterol "Worked great to lower all my bad cholesterol, but I have lost a lot of hair while using this medicine. I stopped about 2 months ago, and still, my hair is falling out."
