View approved original text

This medication helps reduce elevated triglyceride levels in patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia. It is used as a monotherapy for hypertriglyceridemia (Type IV), and can also be used in combination with statin drugs for patients with a combination of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia (Type IIb) for more effective treatment. This combination therapy is applicable even when triglyceride levels are uncontrolled. This drug serves as an adjunct to dietary therapy to improve blood lipid levels and contribute to reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it is used to effectively manage patients' blood lipid status.
