Fibrates
46
Effect of Fibrates on Lipid Levels
  • Increased Lipoprotein lipase activity
  • Increased liver uptake of FA, decreased TG
    production
  • Increased LDL affinity for receptor
  • Lower exchange between LDL and VLDL
  • Increased HDL production
  • PPARs

Fenofibrate Adverse Events
  • Generally well tolerated
  • Most frequent discontinuation - rash (6 vs 2)
  • Other events pruritis, constipation, diarrhea
  • G.I. Upset 2 ( less than placebo)
  • LFTs elevations 6.3 vs 2.1 for placebo
  • Increased warfarin levels (monitor INR)

  • PPARa Stimulation
  • Reduces production of Apo CIII (inhibitor of
    lipolysis)
  • Activates Lipoprotein Lipase
  • Fall in TG levels
  • Switch from small dense to large fluffy LDL
  • Increases synthesis of Apo AI and AII

  • 6 weeks 5 g/d fish oil
  • Slower VLDL and LDL oxidation

Plasmapheresis
  • Apheresis Pheresis Hemapheresis
  • Apheresis -- (Latin, Greek -- aphairesis) to
    take out, take away, snatch, detach, separation,
    or abstract.

66
Combination Therapy
  • Statin niacin
  • Statin fibrate
  • Statin ezetimibe
  • Statin resin

When in doubt, drop the statin to 20 of maximum
dose, Add second drug Titrate up while watching
symptoms and LFTs
67
Combination Therapy
2. The dose of simvastatin should not exceed 10
mg daily in patients receiving concomitant
medication with gemfibrozil. The combined use of
simvastatin with gemfibrozil should be avoided,
unless the benefits are likely to outweigh the
increased risks of this drug combination. Caution
should be used when prescribing other
lipid-lowering drugs (other fibrates or
lipid-lowering doses (1 g/day) of niacin) with
simvastatin, as these agents can cause myopathy
when given alone. The benefit of further
alterations in lipid levels by the combined use
of simvastatin with fibrates or niacin should be
carefully weighed against the potential risks of
these combinations. Addition of fibrates or
niacin to simvastatin typically provides little
additional reduction in LDL-C, but further
reductions of TG and further increases in HDL-C
may be obtained.

Combination Therapy
Fenofibrate Coadministration of fenofibrate (67
mg three times daily) with rosuvastatin (10 mg)
resulted in no significant changes in plasma
concentrations of rosuvastatin or fenofibrate
(see PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions, and
WARNINGS, Myopathy/Rhabdomyolysis). Gemfibrozil
Coadministration of gemfibrozil (600 mg twice
daily for 7 days) with rosuvastatin (80 mg)
resulted in a 90 and 120 increase for AUC and
Cmax of rosuvastatin, respectively. This increase
is considered to be clinically significant (see
PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions, WARNINGS,
Myopathy/Rhabdomyolysis, DOSAGE
AND ADMINISTRATION).
