Triglide Precautions and Warnings

There are many Triglide precautions and warnings to be aware of. For example, because Triglide can interact with certain medicines, you should let your healthcare provider know (prior to taking Triglide) about all other drugs you may be currently taking. Also, there are some people who should not take Triglide, including those with severe kidney disease or pre-existing gallbladder disease or gallstones. A few other precautions and warnings with Triglide include the risk of a rare but serious muscle condition known as rhabdomyolysis in some people taking Triglide, as well as the safety of taking the drug if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or over the age of 65.
