Antihyperlipidemic drugs help lower serum levels of cholesterol and various lipids in the blood. They can be taken with different medications to control high cholesterol and reduce the risk of certain medical conditions. At present, their different classes are available worldwide, which can be given based on the patient’s cholesterol profile, underlying disease, and other factors. Some of the commonly available antihyperlipidemic drugs include statins, antihyperlipidemic combinations, bile acid sequestrants, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, fibric acid derivatives, and PCSK9 inhibitors.
Antihyperlipidemic Drugs Market Trends:
The growing prevalence of hyperlipidemia on account of sedentary lifestyles, nicotine addiction, and high consumption of fatty foods represents one of the key factors catalyzing the demand for antihyperlipidemic drugs. Moreover, hyperlipidemia increases the risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD), which is the most common cause of death among adults worldwide. As a result, there is a rise in the need for these drugs to reduce the high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing the low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Apart from this, they are used to treat children with high cholesterol levels and various lipid disorders. In addition, a surge in the number of genetic and acquired disorders of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism among the pediatric population is positively influencing the need for antihyperlipidemic drugs to reduce the rates of hospitalization and premature deaths. Furthermore, the approval of new and advanced drugs is creating a favorable outlook for the market. Besides this, medicinal chemists around the world are designing, synthesizing, and evaluating a variety of new molecules for these drugs, which is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the market.
