View approved original text

This medication is used to reduce elevated triglyceride levels in patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia. It can be administered alone for hypertriglyceridemia (IV type) and in combination with statin medications for patients with mixed hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia (IIb type). It is particularly effective when triglyceride levels are not controlled, increasing the therapeutic effect when used alongside statins. This medication is effectively used for various forms of dyslipidemia treatment.
