hyperlipoproteinemia
"I don't know exactly when I started using Tricor 145 mg tablets, but I suspect it was approximately in 2004.  I have obtained this drug monthly from RiteAid drugstore, and the medications is made by Abbott Labs.  Anyways, in November 2007 I suffered my first occurence of acute pancreatitis.  I undertook many hospital tests, CT Scans, MRI's, X-Rays, Ultrasounds, of my pancreas, but none of those test revealed a cause of the acute pancreatitis.  Since that first occurrence of acute pancreatitis, I suffered 2 other cases of pancreatitis, which put me into the hospital again, and 1 other case where I toughed it out a home.  Reading the Tricor warnings, it states that in rare cases, it may cause pancreatitis.  I stopped Tricor, problem solved."
