Usage

General Description

2,4-dimethyl-2-propyl-1,3-dioxane, also known as gemfibrozil, is a lipid-regulating medication that is used to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It belongs to a class of drugs known as fibrates and works by decreasing the production of fatty acids in the liver and increasing the removal of triglycerides from the blood. Gemfibrozil is often prescribed to patients with high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides who are at risk for developing heart disease. It is typically taken orally, either with or without food, and may cause side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, and muscle pain. It is important to follow the dosage and usage instructions provided by a healthcare professional while taking gemfibrozil.
