I started taking Tricor (145mg) in Dec 07 to help lower my triglycerides. I experienced some low grade nausea and stomach upset periodically. At the beginning of Feb 08 (about six weeks after starting the drug) I had a severe gallbladder attack. I NEVER had an issue with my gallbladder before taking this drug. I checked another website and found out that this drug can cause gallstones and liver malfunction. I ended up having to have my gallbladder removed in mid February due to multiple gallstones and persistent pain in the liver. There was still a stone caught in my liver even after the gallbladder was removed. This caused jaundice and resulted in a five day hospital stay before the stone was found and removed.
I would advise SEVERE CAUTION before taking this drug.
