Troubles with blood cholesterol levels are often the reason for atherosclerosis, as high cholesterol levels can lead to clogged arteries. People with a high risk of atherosclerosis can protect themselves from this disease and avoid dangerous consequences, when having the correct selection of medications.

The drug TriCor is able to normalize the number of cholesterol in the blood. When combined with diet and exercise, this medicine can help not only to lower bad cholesterol, but also improve a person's quality of life. TriCor is a prescription medicine. You can get it if your healthcare provider prescribes it for you.

Before using this medicine, you must tell your doctor about all the drugs you have taken recently or must be taking now. It’s also important to inform the doctor about any health problems you are experiencing, especially if you have kidney or liver diseases. There are some cases, when TriCor may be contraindicated.

It is not recommended to take TriCor if you are pregnant, as it is not known for sure if the drug can harm the baby. Perhaps the drug can penetrate the baby through the mother's body and cause unwanted reactions. It is also not recommended to breastfeed if you are taking this medicine, as the baby may receive the dose of the drug through the mother's milk, and this may cause unwanted effects.

If, after taking TriCor medication, you begin to experience unpleasant symptoms (severe weakness, fatigue, muscle pain, fever, discoloration of urine), then you should immediately seek medical attention and consult a medical specialist about the use of this medication, as there is the risk of the occurrence of such a condition as kidney failure.

Be careful with this medication if you have ever had kidney or liver disorders. Tell your doctor if you are planning to become pregnant soon.

Application

TriCor is usually used every day, 1-2 times a day, swallowing a whole tablet and drinking it with water, regardless of meals, according to the instructions and recommendations of the doctor regarding the dosage. The dose of the medication can sometimes be adjusted by your doctor in order to achieve the best treatment result. Do not eat products with high fat as it can interfere with your treatment.

People taking TriCor must have a blood test several times during the treatment to monitor the results of their treatment. Diet, weight monitoring and physical exercises are essential during the therapy as part of the full course of treatment.

Side Effects

TriCor may cause some adverse reactions. Common adverse reactions can include sneezing and runny nose. If the medication triggers allergy symptoms (for example, itching, rash, swelling, respiratory distress, redness of the skin), then you should immediately consult a doctor.

Chest pain, severe abdominal pain, weakness, lack of appetite and fever after taking TriCor may indicate serious side effects. If any of them occur, you must seek immediate medical attention.

If during the treatment period you notice any swelling, severe redness of the body or burning sensations in any part of the body, then you should immediately consult a doctor.

Store all your drugs in a dry, dark, cool place, away from children and pets. Never let other people use your medications. If you experience any symptoms that bother you, then contact your doctor in a timely manner and consult with him or her about your health condition. Ask your doctor to give you the complete list of possible side effects and contraindications.
