Why it matters: NICE guideline NG238 (cardiovascular disease: risk assessment and reduction, including lipid modification) recommends that fibrates and nicotinic acid should not be routinely offered to patients for the primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This guidance does not apply to people with familial hypercholesterolaemia, which is covered by separate NICE guidance.
