Hypertriglyceridemia is a polyetiological lipid metabolism disorder, which is characterized by
an increased residual risk of atherosclerosis-associated cardiovascular system pathology. This
literature review presents current data on aspects of drug therapy for this dyslipidemia, which allows for a more comprehensive approach to the treatment strategies. This analysis is based on modern sources, the materials of which were published from 2010 to 2024 in Russian and English in international scientific online libraries. The article discusses the main drugs groups to consider the phenomenon under consideration: niacin, fibrates, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. The analysis of research results indicates that the prescription of drugs aimed at reducing triglyceride levels is a promising direction in advanced lipidology. The most promising drugs at the moment are omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, fibric acid agents, and evinacumab. The pharmacological correction features of high triglyceride levels and promising therapeutic directions are highlighted.
