Can tricor cause constipation and sexual side effects? I have been taking it for a month and have had no desire for intercourse and that is not normal for me. I feel bad for my husband and myself. I have no desire at all and cannot reach the big "O". 
Also, the constipation has been horrible.
I also started taking the coQ10 and a b-complex vitamin (recommended by the pharmacist) at the same time as starting the tricor but still feel it is the tricor medicine.
Any help would be appreciated
Hi Lynda,
Yes, a decreased libido and constipation are both potential side effects of Tricor. I recommend consulting your physician about your symptoms and to determine your options.
All the best,
