  • Title: Drug treatment of dyslipoproteinemia.
    Author: Hunninghake DB.
    Journal: Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am; 1990 Jun; 19(2):345-60. PubMed ID: 2192877.
    Abstract:
    The bile-acid sequestrants, nicotinic acid and lovastatin, are the most effective drugs for lowering LDL-cholesterol. Nicotinic acid and gemfibrozil are more effective for lowering triglycerides and increasing HDL. Important considerations for proper selection of drugs in the treatment of the various dyslipoproteinemias are presented. Currently available drugs now permit effective control of blood lipid and lipoprotein levels.
