What classification of antianginal medications is also used for coronary artery spasms?

A. Fever and lack of muscular coordination may indicate symptoms of serotonin syndrome, a potentially serious complication that can occur when sertraline (an SSRI) is combined with lithium.

B. Nausea and headache are common side effects of sertraline and lithium but are not typically indicative of a serious complication when these medications are used together.

C. Anxiety and insomnia may be related to the underlying condition being treated (e.g., depression) but are not necessarily indicative of a serious complication.

D. Dry mouth and constipation are potential side effects of lithium but are not typically indicative of a serious complication when combined with sertraline.

A. Bile acid agents primarily work by binding to bile acids in the intestines, leading to increased excretion of bile acids and cholesterol, but they are not specifically indicated for reducing triglyceride levels.

B. Fibric acid agents, such as gemfibrozil and fenofibrate, are considered the drug of choice for decreasing triglyceride levels, primarily by increasing the breakdown of triglyceride-rich particles and reducing hepatic triglyceride production.

C. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) primarily lower LDL cholesterol levels but may also have modest effects on triglyceride levels.

D. Statins primarily target LDL cholesterol levels and are not considered the first-line therapy specifically for reducing triglyceride levels.
