At present, lipid-lowering drugs with relatively small side effects are beta drugs and statins, which are recommended to be used under the guidance of a doctor, and their medication programs are different for different conditions.
1. Triglyceride-lowering drugs: Most patients taking drugs such as benzapentadiene, fenofibrate and other beta drugs have no adverse reactions. However, long-term or overdose of beta drugs may cause muscle toxicity, myositis, myalgia and even rhabdomyolysis.
2. Cholesterol-lowering drugs: taking statins, including atorvastatin, resuvastatin, etc. Most of the patients have no adverse reactions when taking the standard dose of statins, and the common adverse reactions of statins include liver function abnormality, creatine abnormality, myalgia, and fatigue.
Lipid-lowering drugs need to be checked regularly for liver function, kidney function, blood lipids and cardiac enzymes; it is suggested that patients should not judge or diagnose on their own based on one of the results or take medication on their own, but should consult a doctor in time, who will give proper diagnosis and treatment according to the specific situation and comprehensive analysis.
