8. How Is Dyslipidemia Treated?
There are several effective medications used to treat this condition. Some, like omega-3 and other vitamin or fiber supplements, are available over the counter. Most will need a prescription from your doctor. The most commonly used medications to treat dyslipidemia are called statins. Bile-acid-binding resins and medicines that inhibit cholesterol absorption are also used.
Medication isn’t the only option for treatment. In many cases, lifestyle and behavioral changes can have a big impact on elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
