Medicine to Lower Triglycerides
Sometimes, all of the above measures may not be enough. In this case your doctor will recommend you some medication, considering other health conditions that are usually involved. Statins such as atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin are usually the first line of treatment. [9]
Other medications which might help you bring triglycerides down are:
- Fibrates (Fibricor, Lopid, and Tricor);
- Nicotinic acid (Niaspan);
- Prescription forms of omega-3s (Epanova, Lovaza, and Vascepa), which should be taken only under doctor’s care.
All of those might have side effects, so be sure to consult your doctor of pharmacist before taking any. [7]
