My triglyceride numbers were over 2000 when I started but within 1 month they were down to 550. Omega 3 got it down to a reasonable number. However within 5 years i lost my gall bladder. I have aches and pains and back ache I am sure are from this drug. Due to my bad reaction to statins I really have no other options. Just hoping for some new revelations in the medical community.

Without help, I could not stand up after sitting on the floor. I did not think that it was caused by Tricor. About a year ago, I started searching internet for possible causes of knee pain, and found that somebody had similar problems. He said that the pain disappeared after stopping to take Tricor. So I asked my doctor about it. Although he did not believe that Tricor could cause knee problem, he allowed me to stop taking Tricor for 3 months. Since then, I have never taken Tricor, and my knee pain was reduced gradually with time. Now, I can have normal activities without any problem. My knee is still weak when I walk up stairs, but I could not do it two years ago. Thus, I strongly believe that Tricor can cause knee problems in some patients.

I have only been on Tricor for two weeks, but I had a severe allergic reaction to it. If you start itching and breaking out into hives, go to the ER immediately!

Kept my Triglycerides down. New Doctor took me off and Triglycerides went up. Confused as what to do.
