HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There is a cholesterol medication called fenofibrate , this may be the cholesterol medication that you are referring to.
Like all medications there are potential side effects such as: fatigue,
(2)skin rash (less than 2 % of persons using it)
(3)increase in the levels of liver enzymes- a significant increase occurred in 6% of persons using this medication
(4)muscle pain or weakness
(5)nausea, upset stomach, abdominal pain- these symptoms occurred in 5% or less of persons
(6)kidney disease
(7)irritation of the eye- less than 2% of persons
IN terms of food to avoid with this medication, there are no interactions with specific foods but if he has a history of high cholesterol, he should be on a diet to try to reduce his cholesterol levels.
This would be a diet with fruits and vegetables, other sources of fiber, reduced fried foods, reduced sodas
I hope this helps
