title: Adverse effects of the treatment for hyperlipidemia.
abstract: A variety of treatments to lower elevated plasma lipid levels in patients with hyperlipidemia are available. Adverse side effects ranging from mere annoyances to uncommon serious consequences may be associated with dietary modification, recreational physical exercise, and drug intervention. As in other clinical circumstances, risk-to-benefit ratios must be taken into consideration in the management of hyperlipidemia.
