I was taking Fibrovas, and after starting it, my joint and muscle pain from chikungunya has increased. Could this be a side effect of the medicine, and should I stop taking it?

Fibrovas (fenofibrate) helps control triglycerides, but it can sometimes cause muscle or joint pain in some people. Since you have already experienced body pain from chikungunya, this medicine might be making your discomfort worse. Still, not all pain comes from the medicine, so it is important to check carefully. If you notice new or worsening pain after starting Fibrovas, it could be related. Because your pain got worse after you began taking the tablet, the medicine might be playing a role. Do not stop taking it on your own, but let your doctor know as soon as you can. Your doctor may adjust your dose, change your medicine, or look into your symptoms further. For now, keep track of your pain, drink plenty of water, and avoid heavy physical activity. If you have severe muscle pain, weakness, or dark urine, get medical help right away, as this needs quick attention.
