title: [Treatment of essential hypercholesterolemia by normolipidemic drugs in children].
abstract: The authors list the principal normolipidemic drugs. Only cholestyramine (Questran) and some fibrates (fenofibrate: Lipanthyl for instance) are registered for pediatrics. Cholestyramine acts by sequestering biliary acids, and thereby inhibiting intestinal cholesterol resorption. It is the primary drug used for children, when diet has been unable to restore normal cholesterol values.
