New Addition (first Pill today)

TriCor (fenofibrate) 120 mg has been added to control my triglycerides. The side effects seem to be fairly minor, though I'll not be thrilled to be woken up by abdominal pain, if it happens to occur. I guess we'll see how it goes. I'm supposed to go in for labs in 3 months and labs + doctor in 6.
