Helen,
Thanks for your question.
According to the package insert, rash is not listed as a side effect of tricor.
I have always said that any drug can cause any problem in any patient. This means that it is still possible to have a side effect that has not been experienced or reported in the past. Should you develop a problem, be sure to notify your doctor so that he can advise you on the next course of action.
But overall, the risk is extremely low of having this side effect.
Hope this has been helpful.
Martin Cane, M.D.
