Gemfibrozil (Lopid) is a medication to reduce blood lipids and modify cholesterol levels. Gemfibrozil (Lopid) is prescribed to patients with elevated triglyceride levels high enough to cause pancreatitis, and to raise HDL cholesterol to prevent heart disease.
HDL cholesterol is sometimes called good cholesterol because higher concentrations of HDL cholesterol in the blood are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. Gemfibrozil modestly reduces low density lipoprotein (LDL or bad) cholesterol. The mechanism of action of gemfibrozil is not known.The decrease in triglycerides is thought to be due in part to reduced production of triglycerides by the liver. Gemfibrozil was approved in September 1993.emfibrozil modestly reduces low density lipoprotein (LDL or bad) cholesterol. The mechanism of action of gemfibrozil is not known.
