Acipimox capsules are generally used for the treatment of various hyperlipidemias. They can lower plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL, and also increase HDL levels, with stable and long-lasting effects. The drug can also be used in combination with other lipid-lowering drugs to improve the efficacy of lipid-lowering. In diabetic patients, it can also increase insulin sensitivity and improve insulin resistance, which is very suitable for patients with combined diabetes. Acimox is an inhibitor of hepatic lipase activity and has antioxidant properties, but it is contraindicated in patients with peptic ulcers and renal insufficiency, and should be used with caution in nursing mothers and pregnant women. The lipid-lowering effect of Acipimox is also very rapid as the blood concentration peaks within two hours.
