What is another word for Hypolipidemic Agents?
Pronunciation: [hˌa͡ɪpə͡ʊlˌɪpa͡ɪdˈiːmɪk ˈe͡ɪd͡ʒənts] (IPA) 
Hypolipidemic agents refer to medications used to lower lipid levels in the bloodstream. Synonyms for hypolipidemic agents include lipid-lowering agents, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and statins. These drugs work by inhibiting the production of cholesterol or increasing the excretion of cholesterol from the body. Other synonymic terms include fibrates, niacin, and bile acid sequestrants, each working by different mechanisms but ultimately reducing cholesterol levels in the blood. Despite the variation in mechanisms, the goal of hypolipidemic agents is to lower lipid levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, making these medications an important part of preventive medicine.
