       A case of severe hypertriglyceridemia in a patient with MS
       taking teriflunomide. More than 3 weeks after discontinuing
       teriflunomide, the problem resolved itself but it is an adverse
       event worth noting, the authors maintain. From Multiple
       Sclerosis Journal, February 23, 2018:

       Hi Agate,
       I was on Aubagio for over three years, ending in late October of
       this year. I have moderately high cholesterol at times and I
       take a statin to control it. I also have to watch my diet. In
       2017 my triglycerides went up with no explanation but they were
       only in the high normal range. I can see how this could be
       serious, especially in someone that doesn't normally take
       statins or have cholesterol blood tests. The only blood tests
       required are for liver function when taking Aubagio.

       Thanks for the comment!
       The patient described had a really high triglyceride level at
       5,000mg/dL.
