  • Title: New lipid lowering drugs and new effects of old drugs.
    Author: Dujovne CA.
    Journal: Curr Opin Lipidol; 1997 Dec; 8(6):362-8. PubMed ID: 9412777.
    Abstract:
    Old lipid acting drugs (fibrates, resins and niacin) continue to demonstrate morbidity and mortality benefits with variable efficacy and safety. Controlled trials have provided efficacy and safety data that support the use of statins as the first choice in the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis. Knowledge of old and new mechanisms of action, optimal doses, pharmacokinetic behavior and drug interactions improve the safety and effectiveness of these hypolipidemic agents.
