Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study reported the progress of herbal medicine administration for hypertriglyceridemia.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia were treated with Taiyintiaowei decoction three times a day. After the triglyceride level dropped, we prescribed Wujisan decoction three times a day to maintain the normal range of triglycerides.
Results: The patients’ blood triglyceride level decreased from 432 mg/dL to 113 mg/dL. The triglyceride level remained steady in the normal range. Adverse events were not observed.
Conclusions: Herbal medicines may be effective in controlling hypertriglyceridemia. Further studies on related topics are needed.
