Used primarily to lower elevated levels of lipids in the blood, particularly triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. It helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes by improving lipid profiles in patients with hyperlipidemia. Often prescribed when lifestyle changes like diet and exercise are insufficient. Works by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-alpha), which increases the breakdown of fatty acids and enhances the removal of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins from the bloodstream.
