Abstract:

This review article examines the mode of action, the efficacy and the side effects of the various types of hypolipidemic agents (fibrates, bile acid sequestrants, statins, nicotinic acid and acipimox) currently available in Belgium. It also summarizes the recent guidelines recommended by the Belgian Lipid Club in the management of hyperlipidemia for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases as well as the therapeutic strategy.
