Atorvastatin FAQ

<p>A vast majority of the U.S population suffers from <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/high-cholesterol" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">high cholesterol</a>. Unlike most other diseases, high cholesterol frequently presents with no symptoms and can be considered a silent killer. Today, over 70 million adult Americans have high cholesterol, yet only 1 in 3 actually have the condition under control.</p><h4><strong>What are statins?</strong></h4><p>Statins are the first line of defense against <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/cholesterol-what-it-is-and-why-you-should-care" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">high cholesterol</a> and have been around for decades. The first statin, lovastatin, was approved in the United States over 30 years ago on September 1st, 1987. Since then, statin use has increased steadily over the years, and today they are one of the most widely prescribed medications in the U.S. In fact, nearly 1 in 4 adults over 40 years of age are taking a <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/compare-statins" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">statin</a>.</p><p>The most commonly used statin in the U.S right now is atorvastatin, which was approved in 1996. While the majority of statins currently available are several decades old, there are newer statin options available. Pitavastatin was <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/statin-use-way-up-pitavastatin-introduced-to-the-u-s-as-a-next-generation-statin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">introduced to the U.S. in 2009</a> and is the most recently approved type of statin. Pitavastatin is different than most statins—<strong>let’s discuss how!</strong></p><h4><strong>What are drug interactions?</strong></h4><p>Drug interactions don’t typically refer to drugs directly interacting with other drugs. Instead, drugs, supplements, or <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/foods-that-increase-your-risk-of-statin-side-effects" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">foods can interact</a> with each other indirectly by stimulating or inhibiting different enzymatic processes in our bodies. Under certain circumstances, this can lead to unintended interactions.</p><p>Statins, like atorvastatin, are metabolized in our liver by an enzyme called cytochrome P450 (CYP450). This enzyme helps to break down the statin and remove it from our body after it has done its job of lowering cholesterol. Unfortunately, 70-80% of medications are also processed by the same family of enzymes. When these enzyme pathways become too busy it can lead to drug interactions.</p><p>Newer statins like pitavastatin are different than most statins and are not processed by these same enzymes. Therefore, there is less potential for certain interactions.</p><h4><strong>Do drug interactions cause statin side effects?</strong></h4><p><strong>The short answer is yes, they can.</strong></p><p>In most cases, your doctor or pharmacist should be able to predict when these interactions will occur and often can modify the medications you are taking to reduce the chance of a bad interaction from occurring. For example, <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/statin-muscle-pain-is-more-common-then-you-think-will-switching-statins-help" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">statin-related side effects like muscle pain</a> (called myalgia), while relatively rare, typically increase with the statin dosage. Therefore, if you are taking 40 mg of atorvastatin and are experiencing muscle aches or pain, your doctor may first try to reduce your dose to 20 mg to see if that will help.</p><p>Now how does this relate to drug interactions? As discussed earlier, 70-80% of medications are metabolized by the CYP450 family of enzymes. In addition, some supplements and certain foods can also interact with these enzymes. A classic example of the effects of a drug interaction occurs when someone takes atorvastatin in combination with grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice inhibits the CYP450 family of enzymes. When this enzyme is blocked, this can result in an increased amount of atorvastatin in your blood, which can greatly increase the risk of muscle pains and aches.</p><p>That’s why it’s so important for your healthcare provider to know about all the over-the-counter products, supplements, and prescription medications you are currently taking.</p><h4><strong>Newer Statins bypass this common enzyme pathway and have reduced potential for certain drug interactions</strong></h4><p>There is good news. There is a newer statin available now called pitavastatin. Pitavastatin (available under the brand name of<a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/zypitamag" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Zypitamag<sup>®</sup></a> at Marley Drug) bypasses this enzyme family and is instead mainly processed by a less busy enzyme family called UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, or UGTs. This pathway results in a reduced potential for certain interactions with other medications. It’s like comparing a crowded freeway with a dedicated express lane.</p><p>If you ever experience <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/should-i-stop-taking-my-statin-medication" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">side effects from your statin</a>, be sure to talk to your healthcare team right away. There are lots of statin options available. If you have had issues with your statin in the past that doesn’t mean you will have the same issue with every single statin.&nbsp;Not all patients are the same. Not all statins are the same.</p>

Statin not enough? What else can you do?

<p>Getting regular exercise is extremely important for your heart! It can help strengthen your heart muscles as well as improve key health indicators like blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which your healthcare provider uses to monitor your overall health. Physically active individuals have a 21% lower risk of cardiovascular disease incidence and a 36% lower risk of death due to cardiovascular disease compared to inactive individuals. Some of the biggest contributors to <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/heart-disease">heart disease</a> include obesity, <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/high-blood-pressure">high blood pressure</a>, and elevated cholesterol levels.</p><p><strong>Before considering medications to manage these risk factors, talk to your doctor about trying lifestyle modifications through diet and exercise. </strong></p><p>The 2013 AHA Guidelines for the Management of Overweight and Obesity in Adults state that a weight loss of at least 5% is recommended to reduce blood pressure and improve blood cholesterol.</p><p>Roughly 21% of American adults meet the criteria for lifestyle modifications as the sole treatment for high blood pressure. The American Heart Association reminds physicians that lifestyle changes, such as increasing physical activity, should be the first treatment option when dealing with patients who have mild to moderate elevation in blood pressure and cholesterol levels.</p><p>“If we start with physical activity as a treatment, this can delay starting patients on medicinal therapy that they will need to take for the rest of their lives.”<em>—American Heart Association</em></p><h3>Can exercise lower blood pressure?</h3><p>Blood pressure is the overall pressure your blood has against the walls of blood vessels. This pressure allows blood to be circulated throughout the body and provides oxygen to all of the body’s organs. Systolic blood pressure is the pressure exerted when blood is pushed into the arteries. The normal range for systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg or lower. Diastolic pressure is the pressure blood exerts within the arteries between heartbeats. The normal range for diastolic pressure is 80 mmHg or lower. Keeping your <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/why-is-it-important-to-manage-your-blood-pressure">blood pressure</a> within a normal range is very important for your health as a whole. Having a blood pressure too low can result in your organs not getting enough oxygen as the blood is not pumping to them effectively. Having a blood pressure too high for a prolonged period of time can cause heart problems due to the long-term force of the blood against your arteries.</p><p>The 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee determined that engaging in aerobic, dynamic, or combined exercise training has significant average effects on systolic and diastolic blood pressure, causing an average decrease of 3 mmHg in both. More frequent and a higher volume of physical activity could improve 24-hour blood pressure and risk of progression of heart disease in mild-moderate risk patients.</p><h3>Can exercise lower cholesterol?</h3><p>Cholesterol is a substance found in the blood that comes from the liver or the food you eat. Ideally, you want low levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) as this is what builds up in your arteries and causes blockages, and you want high levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) as this helps get rid of LDL.

Patients are advised to aim for 300 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week; that’s just 45 minutes a day. You can also choose to engage in 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week, which is just over 20 minutes a day. Physical activity offers benefits beyond cardiovascular health, including a reduced risk of certain cancers and all-cause mortality. It also improves bone and brain health, enhances mental well-being, and promotes better physical function, sleep, and overall quality of life.
