Which of the following is NOT a drug that increases TG only?

IV lipid emulsions
Propofol
Atorvastatin
Beta blockers

The correct answer is: Atorvastatin

Atorvastatin is not a drug that increases TG only, as it also works to decrease LDL cholesterol levels. IV lipid emulsions, propofol, and beta blockers are all known to increase TG levels without affecting LDL cholesterol levels. Beta blockers, in particular, are often used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease, which can be caused by high levels of TG. Therefore, option C is the only incorrect answer as it does not fit the criteria of increasing TG only.
