BOF 97
Regarding lipid lowering drugs, all are true except
1-bile acid sequestrants have no effect on HDL level but lowers serum LDL
2-fish oil although effectively lowers serum triglycerides but it increases the serum LDL cholesterol
3-probucol lowers serum LDL but unfortunately lowers serum HDL also
4-statines lowers LDL and HDL cholesterol and lowers serum triglycerides also
5-nicotinic acid is the most powerful one to raise serum HDL cholesterol
