Fenofibrate Causing Dry Heaving And Itching

Updated

I have been on fenofibrate for about 6 months. The last month almost every time I take it I dry heave. It doesn’t matter if I drink a lot with it or eaten first. Also lately I am having horrible itching all over. Can This happen over time??

I'm curious why you are still taking it.
Have you told your doctor.
It sounds like there's an allergy.

Those can be common side effects, according to FDA reports, but as Jan stated, the itching could also be due to an allergy, so you should have this checked out by your doctor, because allergic reactions tend to get worse with repeated exposure.

Other side effects of Fenofibrate may include headache, runny nose, back pain, and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
