What is the effect of anti-hyperlipidemics on the blood?

Decrease blood pressure
Control high blood pressure
Treat high cholesterol and triglycerides
Cause the body to rid itself of excess water

The correct answer is: Treat high cholesterol and triglycerides

Anti-hyperlipidemics are medications specifically designed to lower high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. Therefore, the correct answer is C - Treat high cholesterol and triglycerides. These medications work by either reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver or by increasing the removal of cholesterol from the blood. This helps in preventing the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can lead to serious conditions like heart attacks and strokes.
