Hello welcome to the health care magic
You are having high cholesterol levels in blood
For that fenofibrate has been prescribed
Stomach pain, headache, muscle pain etc are it's side effects
Rather than fenofibrate if liver profile normal than rosuvastatin like strong statin group drug beneficial
Take low fat diet
Take care
Hope this will help you
Consult physician for examination and get prescription
