The preparation is used
How does the active ingredient in the medication work?
The active ingredient lowers blood lipid levels by inhibiting the body's own production of certain fats in the liver, known as neutral fats or triglycerides. This reduces the amount of fat circulating in the bloodstream and decreases its accumulation on the inner walls of blood vessels (calcification).
