Lopid capsules are used to treat blood lipid disorders and to reduce high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in some patients. This medication is often given to people who suffer from conditions such as high triglycerides that cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone.
Lopid is particularly useful for individuals at risk of developing heart or vascular problems resulting from high levels of fats as it helps improve the balance of fats in the blood and thus reduce these risks. It is believed that its mechanism of action depends on increasing the activity of certain enzymes in the liver that help break down fats and convert them into substances that the body can easily get rid of.
