Overview

Modern and effective pharmacotherapy for hypolipidemia usually compensates the negative effect of certain groups of drugs on lipid levels. Nevertheless, the fact that some psychotropic, antiepileptic, antihypertensive or hormonal drugs may have a certain negative impact should be taken into consideration. The article provides an overview of some of the drug groups provoking dyslipidemia, as well as an overview of drugs with a positive effect on dyslipidemia.

Key words:
cholesterol – triglycerides – metabolic syndrome – psychotropic drugs – antiepileptic drugs – antihypertensive drugs – hormonal replacement therapy – contraception – antidiabetic drugs
