The hypolipidemia drugs used by patients with hyperlipidemia should be analyzed according to the specific conditions of hyperlipidemia, as follows:
1. Mainly for high cholesterol: it is recommended to use statins. For example, atorvastatin and rosuvastatin;
2. Mainly for high triglycerides: fibrates are needed. Commonly used drugs include bezafibrate and fenofibrate.
High blood lipids are harmful to the human body. Whether it is high cholesterol or high triglycerides, it may cause a series of complications. Long-term hypercholesterolemia may cause atherosclerosis, including coronary heart disease, hypertension and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Severe hypertriglyceridemia may induce acute pancreatitis and even be life-threatening. Therefore, whether it is high cholesterol or high triglycerides, drugs are needed to lower blood lipids. In addition, you need to strictly control your diet and try not to eat high-fat foods, such as animal fat, animal offal, egg yolk, crab roe, etc. These foods are rich in cholesterol and triglycerides.
