Cards

Term
Nicotinic Acid (Niacin)
Definition
Dyslipidemia- inhibits adipose lipase, and reduces TG esterfication. ↓ VLDVL, TG, LDL. ↑ HDL tPA
Term
Fenofibrate (TriCore, Triglide, Trilipix)
Definition
Dyslipidemia- (Fibrate) PPAR α Agonist, ↓ serum TG,VLDL. ↑ HDL slightly. No effect on LDL
Term
Gemifibroxil (Lopid)
Definition
Dyslipidemia- (Fibrate) PPAR α Agonist, ↓ serum TG,VLDL. ↑ HDL slightly. No effect on LDL
Term
Cholestyramine (Questran)
Definition
Dyslipidemia- (Bile acid Sequestrant) binds to bile acids (precursors to cholesterol) shifts synthesis toward bile acids rather than cholesterol. AE abd cramp, consti, impaction
Term
Colestipol (Colestid)
Definition
Dyslipidemia- (Bile acid Sequestrant) binds to bile acids (precursors to cholesterol) shifts synthesis toward bile acids rather than cholesterol. AE abd cramp, consti, impaction
Term
Colesevelam (Welchol)
Definition
Dyslipidemia- (Bile acid Sequestrant) binds to bile acids (precursors to cholesterol) shifts synthesis toward bile acids rather than cholesterol. Newer, more potent, smaller dosees
Term
Bile Acid Sequestrants
Definition
Reduce major coronary events, reduce CHD mortality
Term
Ezetimibe (Zetia)
Definition
Dyslipidemia- (Cholesterol Absorption Inhibitor) blocks lipase, ↓ intestinal absorption of cholesterol 17%, TG 6%
Term
HMG-CoA Reductase inhibitors
Definition
-'statin'. Dyslipidemias- inhibit rate limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis.
Term
Rosuvastatin (Crestor)
Definition
Dyslipidema- HMG-CoA Reductase inhibitor. ↓ LDL, TG, VLDL and total cholesterol 20-50%, increase HDL
Term
Cerivastatin (Baycol)
Definition
Dyslipidema- HMG-CoA Reductase inhibitor. ↓ LDL, TG, VLDL and total cholesterol 20-50%, increase HDL. 1st statin
