What are the most reliable pharmacological therapies to reduce triglycerides to a safer level?
The most reliable pharmacological therapies to reduce triglycerides to a safer level are adding fibrates or omega-3 fatty acids for patients with persistently elevated levels. If a fibrate is neces- sary in a patient being treated with a statin, it is safer to use fenofibrate than gemfibrozil because of lower risk of severe myopathy.
