Overview

Gemfibrozil is a medication used to treat abnormal blood lipid levels. It belongs to the fibrates group of medications and works by decreasing the breakdown of lipids in fat cells. It is generally used together with dietary changes and exercise.

Uses

Gemfibrozil is used to treat hyperlipidemia (Type III) and hypertriglyceridemia (Type IV). It helps reduce triglyceride levels, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels, and modestly reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels while moderately increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels.

Regulatory

Gemfibrozil is available by prescription only. It is available as a generic medication and was the 177th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States in 2021.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of blood lipid levels is recommended for patients taking gemfibrozil to ensure its effectiveness and to adjust dosages if necessary.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Common side effects include headache, dizziness, feeling tired, and intestinal upset. Serious side effects may include angioedema, gallstones, liver problems, and muscle breakdown. Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding is unclear.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Gemfibrozil has been detected in biosolids and is considered an environmental persistent micropollutant in aquifers and groundwaters. Its presence indicates it survives the wastewater treatment process, potentially impacting wildlife.

Safety Measures

Gemfibrozil should not be given to patients with hepatic dysfunction and should be used with caution in those with biliary tract disease, renal dysfunction, pregnant women, and obese patients. It interacts with several drugs, including anticoagulants and statins, increasing the risk of muscle cramping, myopathy, and rhabdomyolysis.

Regulation

Gemfibrozil is regulated as a prescription-only medication in most regions, including the United States and Canada.
