(almost killed me!) After taking for about a year with no major issues, I had to go into the hospital due to serious pain in my stomach. I always had a bad back so I never attributed my back pain to antara. After a year of taking this medicine it built up a sludge that shut down the pancreas. Two reason it's important to know this; One, this major side effect does not occur until prolonged use and many people may think they can tolerate the medication well. Two, the symptoms, back pain, acid reflux and stomach pain are so general that they are often ignored before full blown pancreatitis. FYI - pancreatitis is one of the most painful things that can happen to you.

I started Antara, and after four or five days experienced severe back pain, I Think it's my right kidney.I discontinued and most of the pain diminished but i still have some soreness. Going to the doctor to change my medication and examine my back and kidney.I hope there's no permanent damage.

My doctor has suggested that I switch from "TRICOR" TO "ANTARA" I have noticed no improvements at all, after taking a Lab Test by the end of 4 months of use.

I can not tolerate statins so I tried Antara. While I did not get muscle pain, it left me nauseated and depressed. I stopped taking it because of those effectson my system.
