What Are The Side Effects Of Gemfibrozil?
I have been taking gemfibrozil for years and, I am obese and, my potassium level es very low. Is there another alternative to gemfibrozil? I do exercise daily and is extremely difficult for me to shade pounds. Is this perhaps ralated to the intake of Gemfibrozil? Thanks

Low pottasium and weight gain are not the side effects of Gemfibrozil.
Indigestion, abdominal pain, wind,Headache, Diarrhoea/Constipation;
Feeling tired, vertigo or Skin rash are the common side effects.
Important: if you develop any muscle aches or pains, particularly in your legs, you should tell your doctor as this could be a severe side effect.
