Hello Mridul,
Lipicard may lead to excessive gas formation in the stomach and cause bloated feeling but is not known to cause pile. You should consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment of bleeding per rectum. Lipicard is slightly superior to aztor for treating raised triglycerides and he can continue using it.
