Message definition (Drug class)
In several dominant drug classification systems, these four types of classifications form a hierarchy. For example, the [[fibrate]]s are a chemical class of drugs (amphipathic carboxylic acids) that share the same mechanism of action ([[PPAR agonist]]) and mode of action (reducing blood [[triglyceride]]s), and that are used to prevent and treat the same disease ([[atherosclerosis]]). Conversely, not all PPAR agonists are fibrates, not all triglyceride lowering agents are PPAR agonists, and not all drugs used to treat atherosclerosis are triglyceride-lowering agents.
