Well, it really depends on the type of cholesterol med. The traditional side effects of antilipidemic drugs are abdominal cramps, heart burn, some diarrhea is normal, and constipation. If you start experienceing muscle pain, CALL YOU DOCTOR. That is a toxic side effect of the drug and you should be taken off it immediatly. Most of the time these drugs not only keep you liver from making more cholesterol but also keep you from absorbing what is eaten, causing the diarrhea and abdomial cramps. Avoid eating a lot of foods with high "animal" content, like eggs, cheese, butter, and meats, because the only dietary source of cholesterol is animals. If you do, it will basically go in one end and out the other. Not very pleasent. Hope it helps. If you need extra info on the drug, just do a google search on it (the brand name and the generic both).

Give us the name of the medication to give you an accurate answer. In general, the most dangerous side effect has to do with hepatic function.
If the medication has already been prescribed, you may ask your doctor.

They can boost the amount of calcium in your blood, will make your hair dry and your nails grow. In some cases you might lose a little weight. Every one is different though. Consult the doctor who prescribed them is the best advice.
