Gemfibrozil treatment: a comparison with clofibrate

A N Howard et al. Proc R Soc Med. 1976.

Abstract

Gemfibrozil was found to be an effective hypotriglyceridaemic agent in types IV, IIb and V hyperlipoproteinaemia. When given at a dose level of 800 mg/day its activity was nearly of the same order of magnitude as 1.5 g/day of clofibrate.
