Using lipid-lowering agents effectively. When diet is not enough.

Abstract

Lipid-lowering agents can be used safely and effectively if the physician understands the nature of the patient's disorder and the mechanism of action of the various drugs. The benefits of altering lipid levels are manifested over years, not months. Without a long-term plan for periodic follow-up and intervention, short-term gains will accomplish very little.
