What are known side effects of ppar agonists? like fibrates etc..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fibrate Side Effect: Myotoxicity (muscle damage, rhabdo) is one, especially when used with statins. Liver enzyme elevation is not uncommon. Creatinine (a kidney lab #) elevation may be seen but not necessarily bad; pancreatitis may be seen, extremely rare. Other serious but extremely rare side effects are possible. Generally safe when doctor prescribed & monitored. Muscle aches = stop & call dr asap; + dark urine=>er.
