Gemfibrozil Lopid

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 fibrates are another class of antihyperlipidemic drug and are frequently coadministered with a statin. Fibrates act as agonists of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR), particularly PPAR-a. PPARs are nuclear receptors that influence gene expression and lipid metabolism. Examples of fibrates include gemfibrozil (Lopid, A.110) and fenofibrate (Tricor, A.lll) (Figure A.30). Fenofibrate is hydrolyzed in the body to its active form, fenofibric acid (A.112). Fibrates do not decrease LDL levels as effectively as statins, but fibrates do elevate HDL cholesterol levels. [Pg.375]
