High Cholesteral and Triglycerides

[littlemissy]

Has anyone else experienced a cholesteral level. My is elevated but my diet is good. I'm thinking it's a side effect of Aubagio. Thoughts?

Hi littlemissy,

It could be! According to a side effect update of Aubagio and information found from "Keep Me Informed Medicines" website it states:

"Genzyme, the manufacturers of the multiple sclerosis treatment teriflunomide, brand name Aubagio, have updated their product information to include a new side effect. The new side effect is dyslipidaemia with an unknown frequency.

Dyslipidaemia is a broad term describing a number of conditions, including hypercholesterolaemia (high levels of cholesterol in the blood), hyperlipidaemia (high levels or lipids - fat - in the blood) and mixed dyslipidaemia, in which disturbances in fat metabolism lead to changes in the concentrations of lipids in the blood."
