Used primarily to treat high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, this compound helps reduce the risk of heart disease and pancreatitis. It works by decreasing the liver's production of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and increasing the removal of fats from the bloodstream. Commonly prescribed to patients with type IV hyperlipidemia, it is effective in raising HDL (good cholesterol) while lowering LDL and triglycerides. It is often used alongside diet and exercise for optimal results.
