Atromid-S - Clofibrate

Fibric acid derivatives, the third group of antihyperlipi-demic drugs, work in a variety of ways. Clofibrate (Atromid-S), acts to stimulate the liver to increase breakdown of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) to low-density lipoproteins (LDL), decreasing liver synthesis of... [Pg.410]

While the fibric acid derivatives have antihyperlipidemic effects, their use varies depending on the drug. For example, Clofibrate (Atromid-S) and gemfibrozil (Lopid) are used to treat individuals with very high serum triglyceride levels who present a risk of abdominal pain and pancreatitis and who do not experience a response to diet modifications. Clofibrate is not used for the treatment of other types of hyperlipidemia and is not thought to be effective for prevention of coronary heart disease. Fenofibrate (Tricor) is used as adjunctive treatment for the reduction of LDL, total cholesterol, and triglycerides in patients with hyperlipidemia. [Pg.411]

The miotic effect of anticholinesterase eye-drops may be potentiated by dexpanthe-nols such as pantothenic acid, a member of the B-vitamin group which forms a part of co-enzyme A, and by clofibrate (Atromid-S). Their effects may be antagonized by longterm corticosteroid therapy, anticholinergics, antihistamines, meperidine, sympatho-mimetics and tricyclic antidepressants. [Pg.365]
