Here is the link where I got the info - Hope that helps a bit!"

Margie W replied: "No, They are completely differend andTricor has no statins. I know because I am on Tricor for years and am deathly allergic to ALL Statins"

jblackerman replied: "If your father was injured from any of those drugs he'd probably be eligible for a new lawsuit regardless of whether or not he's eligible for the Tricor settlement. I've filed a case a past through because the form was free and they helped find people in a similar situation as me. Maybe they can help you too, good luck!"
