Which lipid-lowering drug has fewer side effects

Lipid-lowering drugs have side effects, and it is not possible to say which drug has the least side effects, and the lesser side effects may have poor therapeutic effect, so we can only choose the most suitable drug to control blood lipids according to the patient’s condition. Compared with statins, the side effects of the proprietary medicine Lipocere may be less toxic to the liver and kidneys, and it is suitable for elderly patients with impaired liver and kidney functions, but the effect of Lipocere on lowering triglycerides and cholesterol is relatively weak. Statin side effects are relatively large, including fluvastatin side effects are relatively small, while simvastatin hepatotoxicity is relatively large, but the treatment can not look at the side effects alone, but also need to consider the specific conditions of some patients, such as coronary artery disease patients who have undergone stenting surgery will need to use the effect of a clear statin, long-term maintenance of stable blood circulation, even if there is a large side effect is unavoidable. The use of medication should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor and should not be used without authorization.
