Ciprofibrate
A fibrate lipid-lowering agent that activates PPARα nuclear receptors to reduce triglyceride synthesis and increase HDL cholesterol, used in the management of hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia. It has a long half-life allowing once-daily dosing. Myopathy risk is increased, especially in combination with statins.
