In medicine, antilipemic agents are medications for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia.[1]
Classification
Hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins)
Bile acid sequestrants
Fibric acid derivatives
Clofibric acid derivatives include gemfibrozil, clofibrate, and fenofibrate. Fenofibrate is unique in being able to lower the serum uric acid level and treat hyperuricemia.[2]
Plant stanols
Uses
Adverse effects
Medications, such as the antilipemic agents atorvastatin, simvastatin, or gemfibrozil that are metabolized by cytochrome P-450 may increase bleeding when added to patients taking warfarin.[3]
