Description
Pitalo Tablets 4mg contain Pitavastatin at the highest available dose, prescribed as an adjunct to dietary therapy for adults with primary hyperlipidaemia or mixed dyslipidaemia who require maximum LDL-C lowering. Pitavastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase to block hepatic cholesterol synthesis, markedly reducing LDL-C, total cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, and triglycerides, while raising HDL-C.
The 4mg dose is indicated for patients who have not achieved target lipid levels on lower doses, or those with high cardiovascular risk requiring aggressive lipid management. Pitavastatin's minimal reliance on CYP3A4 metabolism supports a lower drug interaction potential compared to other high-potency statins.
Pitalo 4mg is a prescription-only medicine manufactured by Genix Pharma. Regular monitoring of lipid panels, liver enzymes, and creatine kinase is recommended. A valid prescription is required. Contact Derma.pk at sales@derma.pk or WhatsApp +92-320-5999650.
