    Abstract:
    23 patients with hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia received acetamidoethyl-(4-chlorophenyl)-(trifluoromethylphenoxy)-acetate (halofenate), a clofibrate derivative, and probenecid or probenecid and placebo over 36 weeks following a placebo period of 6 weeks. Halofenate compared with probenecid lowered elevated serum uric acid levels satisfactorily to a therapeutic level between 5 and 6 mg/100 ml. Serum triglyceride levels were not always lowered sufficiently, serum cholesterol levels were not influenced.
