Gemfibrozil is a class of pharmaceutical drugs prescribed for lowering lipid levels (hypercholesterolemia) in the human body. Abnormally high levels of cholesterol may form fatty deposits (plaque) in the walls of arteries. In case the plaque bursts it could lead to a blood clot.
This increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Another adverse effect of hypercholesterolemia is its role in bile imbalance, leading to gallstones. It could also block blood flow to kidneys and stomach. Such occurrence, causing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc., is referred to as intestinal ischemic syndrome.
