Hi Nick,

 

The most common side effects of Tricor are:

 

Chest congestion or difficulty breathing
Abdominal pain (or stomach pain)

Back pain
Headache
Runny nose
Diarrhea or constipation
Nausea
Body weakness
Flu-like symptoms

 

Tricor can also cause elevated liver enzymes, which your physician may be monitoring.  Here's a link where you can research more on different meds:  www.healthcentral.com/druglibrary/408/index.html
