Drugs for Hyperlipidemia

Learners: 9

Instructor: Ninja Nerd

Duration: 2.00

Hyperlipidemia is a condition characterized by elevated levels of lipids in the blood. Treatment of this condition involves the use of drugs such as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, niacin, fibrates, bile acid sequestrants, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, and PCSK-9 inhibitors. These drugs work by reducing the production of lipids, increasing their breakdown, and blocking their absorption. By using these drugs, patients can reduce their risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.▼▲
