Comparative Effectiveness of Fish Oil Versus Fenofibrate, Gemfibrozil, and Atorvastatin on Lowering Triglyceride Levels Among HIV-Infected Patients in Routine Clinical Care

Abstract

In HIV-infected patients in routine clinical care, fish oil is less effective than fibrates (but not atorvastatin) at lowering TG values. Fish oil may still represent an attractive alternative for patients with moderately elevated TGs, particularly among patients who may not want or tolerate fibrates.
