Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, weakness, or a metallic taste in the mouth may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctort promptly. If stomach symptoms return later (after taking the same dose for several days or weeks), tell your doctor right away.

What diet chart should a diabetic patient follow?

I'm a 48-year-old woman and I've been taking Evion 200 mg, just one capsule a day, for the past couple of years. I usually take a break for a month every six months to help manage my hormonal issues. I'm starting to wonder, though, could this have any side effects I should be aware of?

Question

I've been dealing with persistent high triglycerides for the past 1.5 years, and my levels are usually around 180 or 190. No matter what I do with my diet or how much I exercise, nothing seems to help. What could be going on, and is there something else I should be trying?
