The only disadvantage of these drugs is malabsorption.
    Fibric Acids
    Fibric acids (also called "fibrates") work by cutting down the triglyceride production and expelling it from circulation. These cholesterol reducing drugs also enhances the level of HDL or "good" cholesterol. Fibrates contain gemfibrozil or "lopid and fenofibrate (tricor).
    Nicotinic Acid
    Nicotinic acids or "niacins" works by reducing the LDL or "bad" cholesterol and enhances the HDL "good" cholesterol. Substantial amount of doses of vitamin niacins can lower triglycerides.
    Most of these cholesterol reducing drugs are easy to administer, although they have a few drug-drug interactions. Gastrointestinal (usually constipation, abdominal pains and cramps) is the the bulk common side effect of cholesterol reducing drugs. Symptoms of these cholesterol reducing drugs are usually mild to severe and usually settle as the therapy continues.
