Lipid-lowering agents

Lipid-lowering agents are medications used to reduce levels of fats, particularly cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood. High levels of these fats can lead to heart disease and other health issues. Common types include statins, which lower LDL (bad cholesterol), and fibrates, which can reduce triglycerides. By managing lipid levels, these medications help prevent cardiovascular problems and support overall heart health. Regular monitoring and lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, are often recommended alongside these treatments for optimal results.
