The company making TRICOR lost their patent. TRICOR was orginaly 160 milligram of FENOFIRRATE. However after the patent to TRICOR was lost, the company changed packaging and dosage to 145 milligrams so that they could continue naming it TRICOR and continuing charging the customer the high price of this previously patented drug.
What sleaze balls!
You can save money by simply asking your doctor to prescribe 160 milligram FENOFIBRATE instead of the 145 milligram of TRICOR. By doing this, you should save bucks by buying the competitive and proved generic. Perhaps you might want to verify this with your local pharmacist before talking to your doctor. Do not be surprised if your doctor acts stupid regarding this matter. There are no perks for him when you make a change like this that saves you money.
