Description
Pitalo Tablets 1mg contain Pitavastatin, a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) indicated as an adjunct to dietary therapy for adults with primary hyperlipidaemia or mixed dyslipidaemia. By blocking cholesterol biosynthesis in the liver, Pitavastatin reduces LDL-C, total cholesterol, apolipoprotein B (Apo B), and triglycerides, while producing a favourable increase in HDL-C.
Pitavastatin is distinguished from other statins by its minimal metabolism via CYP2C9 and negligible CYP3A4 involvement, resulting in a lower potential for drug interactions. The 1mg starting dose makes Pitalo suitable for patients who are statin-naive or require careful dose titration at initiation of therapy.
Pitalo 1mg is a prescription-only medicine manufactured by Genix Pharma. Regular liver function and lipid profile monitoring is recommended. A valid prescription is required. Contact Derma.pk at sales@derma.pk or WhatsApp +92-320-5999650.
