Where are we with probucol: A new life for an old drug

Yamashita S et al. – Probucol could be reconsidered as an option at least in case statins, which are known to be effective in lowering low–density lipoproteins (LDL) and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk, are not effective. In particular, a marked CAD risk reduction has been recently reported in long–term probucol treatment of patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in Japan. Therefore, probucol could be a more common therapeutic drug for the treatment of patients with FH as well. There is more than enough reason to believe that this old drug has much more to offer than hitherto known.
