Lipex works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body to decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block flow to the heart, brain and other parts of the body. It can be used alone or along with other medications to lower “bad” cholesterol (low density lipoprotein, LDL) and triglycerides while at the same time increase the amount of “good” cholesterol (high density lipoprotein, HDL) in the blood.

Lipicard works by increasing certain natural substances that break down fats in the blood and speed up the natural processes that remove cholesterol from the body. The medication should be used along with a proper exercise program, a balanced diet and other lifestyle changes to help increase the amount of “good” cholesterol or high density lipoprotein (HDL) and lower “bad” cholesterol or low density lipoprotein (LDL) in the blood. Monitoring cholesterol levels can help decrease the risk of heart attacks, strokes, angina (chest pain), heart disease and atherosclerosis (clogged arteries).
