Lipitor

H-MG Coa-Reductase Inhibitor (statin)

Treats hypercholesterolemia

Hint 1

Statins are drugs that can lower your cholesterol. They work by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol.Lowering cholesterol isn't the only benefit associated with statins. These medications have also been linked to a lower risk of heart disease and stroke. These drugs may help stabilize the plaques on blood vessel walls and reduce the risk of certain blood clots.

A number of statins are available for use in the United States. They include:Atorvastatin (Lipitor)Fluvastatin (Lescol XL)Lovastatin (Altoprev)Pitavastatin (Livalo, Zypitamag)Pravastatin (Pravachol)Rosuvastatin (Crestor, Ezallor)Simvastatin (Zocor)

ezetimibe

Zetia

Antilipemic agent

Treats hypercholesterolemia

Hint 4

Ezetimibe treats high cholesterol. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol absorbed from the food you eat. This decreases the amount of bad cholesterol (such as LDL) in your blood. Changes to diet and exercise are often combined with this medication.

Tricor

Fibric acid derivative

Treats hypercholesterolemia

Hint 6

Fibric acid derivatives make up another class of cholesterol meds that reduce blood lipid (fat) levels, especially triglycerides. Your body creates triglycerides (fats) from food when you consume calories but don’t burn them.Fibric acid derivatives may also increase the level of HDL, also called the “good” cholesterol, while lowering liver production of LDL, the “bad” cholesterol. People who have severe kidney disease or liver disease should not take fibrates.

ramipril

Altace

ACE inhibitor

Hint 8

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are medications that help relax the veins and arteries to lower blood pressure. ACE inhibitors prevent an enzyme in the body from producing angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels. This narrowing can cause high blood pressure and forces the heart to work harder. Angiotensin II also releases hormones that raise blood pressure.

Many ACE inhibitors are available. The best one for you depends on many things, including your overall health and existing conditions. For example, people with chronic kidney disease may benefit from having an ACE inhibitor as one of their medications.Examples of ACE inhibitors include:

Benazepril (Lotensin)

Captopril

Enalapril(Vasotec)

Fosinopril

Lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril)

Hint 12

Angiotensin II receptor blockers help relax your veins and arteries to lower your blood pressure and make it easier for your heart to pump blood. Angiotensin is a chemical in your body that narrows your blood vessels. This narrowing can increase your blood pressure and force your heart to work harder. Angiotensin II receptor blockers block the action of angiotensin II. As a result, the medication allows your veins and arteries to widen (dilate).
