| Description | The first-line class of drugs for the treatment of dyslipidemia continue to be statins, Ezetimibe is a drug used primarily in combination with statins, and a recent interventions! study reported that ezetimibe also reduces the risk of coronary events. A combination of a statin with feaofibrate can be considered when treating individuals with combined dyslipidemia; however, there is only little evidence for this combination regarding its effect on cardiovascular events. A new class of lipid-lowering drugs, which should become available in the Czech Republic within several months, are PCSK9 inhibitors. |
