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.
