Etofibrate is primarily used in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, a condition characterized by elevated levels of lipids in the blood. It works by reducing the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, thereby helping to prevent cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes. The compound is often prescribed to patients who have not achieved desired lipid levels through diet and lifestyle changes alone. By improving lipid profiles, Etofibrate contributes to overall cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of long-term complications associated with high lipid levels. It is typically administered orally and is often part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes dietary modifications and regular physical activity.
