10 Recommended Ways To Reduce Cholesterol Levels

4. Fibrates

Fibrates are prescription drugs including Tricor and Lopid that may be able to lower triglyceride levels by up to fifty percent and raise HDL or “good” cholesterol levels by up to thirty-five percent. One of the reported cons of these drugs is they do not do much regarding lowering “bad” or LDL cholesterol. They may also cause lots of unwanted side effects such as upset stomach, bloating, gas, digestive upset, nausea, and headaches.
