(Newest replies first)

Just took myself off trilipix was on it for almost 4 months. It really dropped my trig cholestrol and other cholestrol. But during the last month I have had a lot of hair loss. I stopped using it 3 weeks ago and still have hair loss the hair is very fine. My hair is normally very thick. Has anyone else had this?

I heard a shot glass of olive oil day does wonders for
this, but check with your Dr. and tell him about your hair loss.
Exercise is supposed to lower the readings.
In my humble opinion, I think this drug is causing way to much harm to our bodies.
I am going to contact the Drug Co. and inform them of this current problem

I lost 2 members of my family from adverse reactions to drugs and one brother-in-law who suffered a stroke
just settled on a class action suit for taking a certain drug. On 60 minutes last nite, it was stated that
80% of the active ingredient in drugs prescribed to us
in the USA come from overseas, and they maybe counterfeit...real comforting news.

I have been taking Trilipix for almost a year now. My triglicerides is normal now. But, one thing that I noticed is that I have lost a whole lot of hair. I was seriously suspecting it is because of the Trilipix. That's how I started searching online if anyone else has the same issue. Seems like what I doubted was true. I would not take off this medication becasue then my triglicerides would go up and it can cause serious issues on the long term. But, I am wonderinf if there is any alternative medicine without any side effects.

I still continue to lose hair. Have not seen my beautician
in 4 months. This along with the severe stomach distress has caused me much concern.

I have had heartburn in the past, but nothing can
compare to the episodes I have had when I took the
drug. Took every med known to man.The burning
settled down after 3 hours. I really thought that a visit
to the ER was in order. Will never, every take that
drug again. Going to contact the drug company that
makes this drug.
Take care to all....
Has anyone suffered with sever back ache when they were on the drug?
Hope everyone who is on this drug keeps posting.

I had significant hair loss taking Trilipix... I took the medication approximately 4 months... the generic brand I couldn't tolerate, so I took the actual Trilipix brand. I lost about half of my hair, to the point where I had to wear wigs. My doctor told me to stop taking this medication, I did, my levels are OK, and after about 8 months, my hair is just now starting to grow back, although it's very fine and thin. I wish I had never taken Trilipix

Yes, I started losing my hair after being on the Trilipix
for nearly 4 months. It is still falling out and I lost
the natural curl. Does anyone know if my hair will
grow back. I have contacted the FDA and they are
sending me a form to fill out. They want people to report
any side affects. I was informed that it has been on
the market for since 2008. I also have had horrific
heartburn. I stopped taking the drug 8 days ago.

I started Trilipix and Crestor. Within the last 10 months I have lost half my hair and can't hide my scalp. I don't know which one to quit taking. It looks like they both cause hair loss. I am a female so this is devastating!

I have been taking Trilipix for about 8 months & have noticed that my hair has been thinning out. My hair was a little thicker before I started taking this. It is not listed as a side effect but I did not have this problem until I started Trilipix! I will be telling my Dr. to take me off because of this & due to the high co-pay!

A family member of mine also experienced hair loss after being on Trilipix for about 6 months. She too took herself off it recently.

I too have been experiencing excessive hair loss after being on Trilipix for 3 mo. I have just this week stopped taking the drug after calling my doctor. I am dismayed to think I may be losing even more hair in the coming weeks. I also started hair loss treatments today because my stylist noticed a significant loss. So...this man is not the only one on the planet with this problem!!!!

Yes he knows. I just had my blood work done and all readings are normal. My cholesterol is on its way back up. If it were up to me I would never had used this drug. I have been off it for 2 months and I am still losing a lot of hair. Even my beard barely grows now to the point where I don't even have to shave daily. I am not taking any other medication. I am not a happy camper right now.

I also appear to be the only person on the planet that has been on this medication. Besides the study panel of course.

Trilipix contains the active ingredient Fenofibric Acid, it is used to help lower cholesterol.

Does you doctor know you are going off of this medication? Have you discussed it with them?

Hairloss is not a listed side effect of this medication, are you on anything else that may be causing it?
