What medicine does cholesterol high take

summary

High cholesterol is a common disease of many people now. My father has such a disease, and his body is getting fatter and fatter. Now let's share with you what medicine to take for high cholesterol.

What medicine does cholesterol high take

First, phenoxyacetic acids, such as antomin, lipingzhi (fenofibrate), gefirozil (Jiezhi, nuoheng), BENZAFIBRATE (bijiangzhi), are the most widely used drugs at present. They can reduce LDL-C and triglyceride, but increase HDL-C.

Second, hydroxymethyl pentadiether coenzyme A reductase preparations (statins), such as lovastatin, meijiangzhi, Xuezhikang (Zhibituo), simvastatin (Shujiangzhi), pravastatin (pravastatin), etc. The effect of reducing LDL-C was more obvious than phenoxyacetic acids, while the effect of reducing triglyceride and increasing LDL-C was less than phenoxyacetic acids.

Thirdly, polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as fish oil preparation (maidongkang, duoenkang, etc.), linolenic acid, can reduce triglyceride, but the effect of lowering cholesterol is poor.

matters needing attention

Patients with high cholesterol should pay attention to control their diet, do more sports, lose weight and other general measures. If it doesn't work, consider medication. Hyperlipidemia is caused by eating too much greasy food and animal viscera, smoking, especially drinking. If you don't correct these habits, it's not effective to use lipid-lowering drugs alone.
