ZYPITAMAG® (pitavastatin): The Smart Statin Choice for Asian Patients
If you're of Asian descent with high cholesterol, your body may respond differently to statins.
Asian Patients and Increased Sensitivity to Statins
People of Asian descent are more likely to experience side effects from statins. This isn't due to body size, but rather to genetic differences that affect how the body processes statins.
Research shows that many Asian patients have higher blood levels of certain statins (e.g. rosuvastatin) even at standard doses, increasing the risk of side effects like muscle pain.
ZYPITAMAG: A Better Statin Experience
Because ZYPITAMAG is formulated to deliver results at moderate doses, it’s an excellent choice for Asian patients who may be more prone to statin intolerance.
- Efficacy at lower doses: ZYPITAMAG is available at 2 and 4 mg tablets. 4 mg can lower LDL-C up to by 45%.
- Fewer drug interactions: Metabolized differently than most statins, reducing the risk of certain drug interactions.
- No food restrictions: Grapefruit juice does not need to be avoided.
- Minimal impact on blood glucose: Causes only a 2.1% increase from baseline, compared to 7.2% with atorvastatin.

ZYPITAMAG is Designed to Help Reduce Drug Interactions
Drug interactions often depend on how a medication is metabolized in the body.
Most statins are processed through an enzyme family called cytochrome P450 (CYP450). This is the same pathway used to metabolize 70-80% of all prescription drugs.
Unlike many statins, ZYPITAMAG is not significantly metabolized by CYP450. This helps reduce the potential for certain drug interactions, making it a strong option for patients who take multiple medications.
