Abstract
The present invention is concerned with novel pharmaceutical compositions of lipid lowering agents which can be administered to a mammal suffering from hyperlipidemia, obesitas or atherosclerosis, whereby a single such dosage form can be administered once daily, and in addition at any time of the day independently of the food taken in by said mammal. These novel compositions comprise particles obtainable by melt-extruding a mixture comprising a lipid lowering agent and an appropriate water-soluble polymer and subsequently milling said melt-extruded mixture.
