Summary:

      Dyslipidemia, is a cardiovascular risk factor of great importance whose prevalence has
      increased over the last decade. Part of the components of metabolic syndrome and consensus so
      far contemplated to increased triglycerides (TG) and reduced high-density lipoprotein
      cholesterol (HDL-C) as part of the elements for classification, which includes mixed
      dyslipidemia.

      Currently, fibrates, such as bezafibrate, are drugs used in treating hypertriglyceridemia,
      besides reducing the risk of coronary disease. However, although this treatment is safe, it
      is not without risks; with increased prevalence of adverse effects as the dose thereof is
      increased or joins combination with a statin drug for the treatment of mixed dyslipidemia
      long term.

      Among the alternative therapies is berberine, which to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides
      may be useful in combination with bezafibrate in the treatment of mixed dyslipidemia and as
      an option with lower cost and lower frequency of adverse events.
