Niceritrol is primarily used in the management of hyperlipidemia, a condition characterized by elevated levels of lipids in the blood. It functions as a lipid-lowering agent, helping to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which are significant risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. By improving lipid profiles, Niceritrol aids in decreasing the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes. Additionally, it is often prescribed to patients who have not responded adequately to dietary changes or other lipid-lowering therapies. Its ability to improve blood lipid levels makes it a valuable component in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disorders.
