Is it true that Statin drugs lower blood triglyceride levels in adults with high cholesterol?
Partly. One guideline lists statins among lipid-lowering drugs and notes triglyceride reduction, and an observational study reports serum triglycerides fell as cholesterol-lowering drug use rose, but neither directly establishes that statins lower triglycerides. A review states statins have limited effects on lipid parameters other than LDL, suggesting a weaker or absent triglyceride effect.
