Re: to Bob re: Triclor and pancreatitis warnings

[Guest guest]

Bob,

Unfortunately I've been offline for several days, or I would have seen this

sooner.

My first comment is to suggest that you ask this new doctor, who is supposed

to be a specialist, to read what Tricor can do. Tricor is one of the most well

known medications that can cause pancreatitis!! Just type the words Tricor

and pancreatitis into any good search engine and you'll get hundred's of hits.

Whenever in doubt about any new medication, check it out at:

http://www.rxlist.com

This is the best site I've seen for pharmaceutical questions. You really don't

want to be taking a medication that has such a strong reputation for causing

medically induced pancreatitis.

I've got more to say about your unhappy situation, but I really wanted to get

this message to you first.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
