Usage

General Description

3,3-dichloro-1-ethylquinoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione, also known as clofibric acid, is a chemical compound that is used as a lipid-lowering drug. It belongs to the class of drugs known as fibrates, which are used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Clofibric acid works by reducing the production of triglycerides and increasing the breakdown of fatty acids in the liver. It is also used in the treatment of certain types of familial hyperlipoproteinemia. However, it has been largely replaced by other more effective and safer lipid-lowering drugs in clinical practice. Despite its potential therapeutic benefits, clofibric acid is also known to have some toxic effects on the liver and may cause adverse reactions in some individuals.
