Key Features of ZYPITAMAG (pitavastatin)
ZYPITAMAG is a third-generation statin that is used with diet and exercise to lower cholesterol in adults.
- Efficacy – Up to 45% reduction in LDL-C with 4 mg (highest dose).1
- Tolerability – 3.1% myalgia rates at 4 mg.1
- Compliance – 43% improvement in adherence through Marley Drug compared to local pharmacies2
- Metabolism – Less dependent on CYP450 than most statins, meaning it's less likely to interact with other medications1
- Glycemic Impact – Pitavastatin has a minimal effect on fasting blood glucose (a 2.1% increase from baseline) compared to atorvastatin which showed a 7.2% increase.1,3
Pitavastatin vs. Atorvastatin in T2DM
Moderate intensity statins are Class I recommend in diabetic patients aged 40-75 with LDL-C ≥ 70 mg/dL.4
A study compared atorvastatin and pitavastatin in people with high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.3
While both medications were similarly effective at lowering cholesterol, pitavastatin (4mg) had a much smaller impact on blood sugar levels. Pitavastatin increased fasting glucose by only 2.1% from baseline, whereas atorvastatin (20mg) raised it by 7.2%.
