Product Overview
Livazo 4mg pitavastatin tablets 28S — a potent statin with minimal drug interactions for LDL cholesterol reduction and cardiovascular protection in adults, including elderly and complex-medication patients.
Product Description
Livazo 4Mg Tab 28S contains pitavastatin 4mg, a potent and selective HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) that lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while raising HDL cholesterol in patients with hypercholesterolaemia or combined dyslipidaemia. Pitavastatin, the active ingredient in Livazo, is distinguished from other statins by its unique pharmacokinetic profile — it is minimally metabolised by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system, resulting in a significantly lower risk of drug-drug interactions compared to more commonly prescribed statins.
This characteristic makes Livazo an excellent choice for patients on complex medication regimens, including the elderly and individuals with multiple comorbidities. Additionally, pitavastatin is associated with a low risk of muscle-related side effects (myopathy) and has demonstrated a consistent tolerability profile in clinical trials. Livazo 4mg is the highest available dose of pitavastatin, suitable for patients requiring significant LDL reduction or who have not achieved target levels on lower doses. The 28-tablet pack provides a complete four-week supply on the standard once-daily dosing schedule.
