Comment:
After 4 months of treatment I was up almost every night with lower back, leg, hip and muscle pain. Also, I developed colon problems and GERD. I would not take the medication again, but am aware of the dangers of high cholesterol and triglycerides. I'm currently trying red yeast rice to help with the condition.

Comment:
Have been taking trilipix and lovaza,one capsule each together once a day for over a year but developed severe itching over entire body.Stopped taking both drugs and the itching left after about a week,and hesitant about resuming the medicine since it produced only moderate results with my triglycerides and cholesterol.
