Trilipix And Hair Loss (Page 2) (Top voted 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 have been taking Trilipix for almost a year now. My scalp started itching constantly. Soon after I noticed a significant hair loss problem. I thought it was my imagination until my Barber pointed out to me places on my head that had hair on my last visit, but was gone now. If my Doctor takes me off Trilipix will the hair grow back?

Well, I contacted the FDA and they sent me a form
to fill out..sent it back. My hair is growing back but
the texture is not the same. Still experience some hair
loss when I wash my hair, not nearly the amount I lost
when taking that drug.

My heartburn has let up and my count is 196.
Fish oil is a wonder for many people, but I have
problems with it..So, I guess I will have to try and
get some info off the net and see what I can do to
reduce the count.

One thing is for sure, no more new drugs for me.
Take care to all..
Francine

I have been using Trilipix for a few years. Like some others, I thought the loss was due to age. My hair is thinner and have a bald spot on the top of my head. I have been trying to figure out what has changed in my life and the only thing I can think of is the Trilipix. I am angry with the loss of hair and pray that it will grow back. I see my endocrinologist next week and will insist that he put me on something else.

Took Trilipix and Zetia and ended up with severe, acute pancreatitis as a result of common bile duct blocked by gallstone. Surgeon dx. as drug induced blockage.

Wow. Those were the drugs I was on when I had the same problems as you. I needed my gall bladder out. The doctor did not indicate it was the drugs, but anything is possible. I will need to research the use of these 2 drugs with those ailments.

My mother doctor put her on Trilipix about three months
ago, and suddenly nearly all of her hair have fallen out, she had long think black hair and now it is at the up of her neck, very short, I also notice the hair on her eye brows. She is up in age and this is very devestating and up setting to her. I have found her crying about her hair loss. The doctor gave it to her to bring her Trigliciride level down. I have stop giving it to her, and will let the doctor know on her next visit.

For what it is worth, I submitted a comment here about a year ago for the same reason:hair loss with trilipix. My doctor gave me another one to try (can't rememeber the name) but it is also a name brand so very costly. I have been taking it for about 1 year and have not seen any change. I do not know if the drugs have the same side effect or that both drugs cause hair loss.

I've been on trilipix for 2 months now and I too am suffering from hair loss. My scalp started to itch about a month after I started the medication. That stopped and my hair started falling out so much, I couldn't even touch it! After reading all these posts, I'm going to stop taking trilipix and see if it stops.

I took Trilipix for about a year and had SUBSTANTIAL hair loss. My remaining hair became dry, brittle and had lost it's natural curl. I did an internet search, suspecting it had something to do w/Trilipix. Sure enough, a lot of people had experienced the same. I immediately stopped taking it and the hair loss subsided. I then started taking Visviscal and a year later, my hair has filed in, should take another 6 months to obtain the length it once had. I told the doctor who prescribed it what had occurred and the fact that I took myself off of it, he didn't seem concerned at all...Yep, time to get a new doctor...

Add another, I have been on Trilipix for over 2 years and for the entire 2 years have wondered why my hair was falling out. I had my GP check my Thyroid level again thinking it was the cause, but now I know what it is! The girl with the beautiful thick hair, has been reduced to the girl with little. I want my hair back, I have tried every hair thickener shampoo on the market and none give me that volume back. Going to call my GP in the morning. Thank you all for the information!

I had been on the generic Fenofibric Acid for 2 months and started having an itchy scalp and have had significant hair loss! I am a female and have always had complements on how thick and healthy my hair is all my life from hair stylists. My husband started noticing it was thinning after being on it about a month and a half. I took myself off of it a couple weeks ago. I hope it grows back! I am so upset about this! I wish I never tried it.
