Mylan Fenofibrate 134mg Formula Change? (Top voted first)

I have been taking Fenofibrate 134mg for almost 7 years now. I have hereditary high Triglycerides. Mine was 633 the first blood test in 2010 and then the second one was 408. Doctor started me on Fenofibrate and my Triglycerides have been at 97 - 200 ever since. Until now. The price for me has been $132 for 90 pills. Then starting this year it went to $90, then $60, and then $12. Took a blood test last week and my Triglycerides are back up to 401 like the pill is no longer working. The brand is Mylan. Did they change the chemical make up or what is going on?

It is normal for our bodies to get used to any medication we take in a certain dosage for a long period of time, so eventually, we build up a tolerance, and it stops working as well for us. Thus, it is likely that you may require a different dosage, or may need to try a different medication.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches.

Do you also watch your diet to help lower your cholesterol and keep it under control?

A little confused about your comment only because taking BIG Pharma drugs is the problem. they do not have ppls best interest, they don't care about us all we are is to them..at all cost if u are taking any pharmacy meds try to find other alternatives...Best of luck.
