What Causes Abdominal Pain While On Tricor?

I am taking Tricor and last week I felt slight pain on my stomach. I attempted to get up and I noticed a round ball like ball on the upper part of my belly. It wasn t until I began taking this medicine that I noticed that. Could the Tricor be the cause of that ball shape on my belly?

Hi,

I understand your concern.

Tricor is a fibrate used to treat high lipid levels in blood.

As you noticed pain on the upper part of your belly since started Tricor, I highly recommend to stop using it and report this side effect to your caring doctor to change therapy.

Hope this helps.
