Application areas
Mode of action
How does the ingredient of the medicine work?
The active ingredient lowers the blood fat level by hindering the body’s own manufacture of certain fats in the liver, so -called neutral fats or triglycerides. The proportion of fats circulating in the bloodstream is thus reduced and their attachment to the inner walls (“calcification”) is reduced.
