A case of severe hypertriglyceridemia in a patient with MS |
|
taking teriflunomide. More than 3 weeks after discontinuing |
|
teriflunomide, the problem resolved itself but it is an adverse |
|
event worth noting, the authors maintain. From Multiple |

Hi Agate, |
|
I was on Aubagio for over three years, ending in late October of |
|
this year. I have moderately high cholesterol at times and I |
|
take a statin to control it. I also have to watch my diet. In |
|
2017 my triglycerides went up with no explanation but they were |
|
only in the high normal range. I can see how this could be |
|
serious, especially in someone that doesn't normally take |
|
statins or have cholesterol blood tests. The only blood tests |
|
required are for liver function when taking Aubagio. |

Thanks for the comment! |

The patient described had a really high triglyceride level at |
|
5,000mg/dL. |
