Lipid

What medications contain trilipids? ## By tri lipids, do you mean Tri-glycerides? Triglycerides are lipids made with three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule. Your body makes some triglycerides. Triglycerides also come from the food you eat. When you eat, your body uses carbohydrate calories for immediate energy. Leftover calories are turned into triglycerides and stored in fat cells for later use. If you eat more calories than your body needs, your triglyceride level may be high. That said, I don't understand why any medication would contain triglycerides. Fish oil or other fatty acid supplements are the only thing that comes to mind in this situation.

Lipid

In biology and biochemistry, a lipid is a macro biomolecule that is soluble in nonpolar solvents.[3] Non-polar solvents are typically hydrocarbons used to dissolve other naturally occurring hydrocarbon lipid molecules that do not (or do not easily) dissolve in water, including fatty acids, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, and phospholipids. The functions of lipids include storing energy, signa...

Lipid emulsion or fat emulsion refers to an emulsion of lipid for human intravenous use, especially catering critically-ill patients that cannot consume food and administer their required nutrients enterally. It is often referred to by the brand name of the most commonly used version, Intralipid, which is an emulsion of soy bean oil, egg phospholipids and glycerin, and is available in 10%, 20% and 30% concentrations. The 30% concentration is not approved for direct intravenous infusion, but ...

I have high cholesterol and need a gluten free, lactose free lipid lowering drug. Please let me know what is available. ## I'm sorry, but the only way I would have access to such information is if I had a specific manufacturers name to check, there is no regular database that has this information. Have you tried asking your pharmacy? They can usually run it through their system using their allergy database to check what might be available for you to use.

Clofibrate

Clofibrate (trade name Atromid-S) is a lipid-lowering agent used for controlling the high cholesterol and triacylglyceride level in the blood. It belongs to the class of fibrates. It increases lipoprotein lipase activity to promote the conversion of VLDL to LDL, and hence reduce the level of VLDL. It can increase the level of HDL as well. It was patented in 1958 by Imperial Chemical Industries and approved for medical use in 1963.[1] Clofibrate was discontinued in 2002 due to ...

I'm age 29. After my lipid test I got to know that I have low hdl cholesterol, that is 26. Knowing that I got tensed n suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks. My bp was 150/90, I was not able to sleep at all. Went to the Dr and he prescribed me ciplar 10 once in the morning and amixide h at bedtime. Now I'm a little bit better. Can I stop taking these medications or continue for how long? ## You should take them as long as your doctor instructs you to continue doing so. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. How is your blood pressure, now?

I have taken tg torF for about 40 days and my lipid profile shows colestrol 136, trygleseride 139 HDL 42, LDL 66. Please tell me should I take now tg tor only to control my lipid profile. ## What has your doctor advised? TG-Tor-F contains Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate, it is used to help lower cholesterol levels. You should discuss it with your doctor, because your HDL is still a little low, which puts you at risk for heart disease, so they may want you to continue the medication.

Pulmonary surfactant is a surface-active complex of phospholipids and proteins formed by type II alveolar cells.[1] The proteins and lipids that make up the surfactant have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. By adsorbing to the air-water interface of alveoli, with hydrophilic head groups in the water and the hydrophobic tails facing towards the air, the main lipid component of surfactant, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), reduces surface tension. As a medication, p...

Based on the test results of my KFT and lipid profile, I have been prescribed Nefrosave alongside other medicine. My creatnine is 1.3. How long will I have to take this medicine? ## Serum creatinine 1.6. Microalbuminuria. Hypertension ## Hello ramavtar, I hope you are having a great day. Short term, you should continue taking this medication for as long as the doctor instructed. If you are talking about long term it would ultimately depend upon your health and if your condition is chronic. If you have a medical condition that is going to perpetually cause your creatine levels to be high then you would may permanently be on these medications. Ultimately this is a question that you will need to discuss with your doctor as only they will know how long you will need to continue administrati...
