QuestionAnswer
Drug interactions of Statins? (Zocor) Simvastatin and (mevacor) lovastatin(CYP 3A4 inhibitors), Atorvastatin(parital CYP 3A4 inhib), Fluvastatin(CYP 2D9 inhib/hardly any drugs inhibit), Pravastatin(sulfonation), Gemfibrozile(fibrinic acid) interacts withh all statins except Fluva
Common side effects of Statins? Constipation, bloating, cramps, heartburn, myopathy(algias), insomnia and sleep disturbances(Lovastatin and simvastatin), Rhabdo(fibrates, niacin and cyp 450 inhibitors(macrolids, keto) increase chances, Myoglobinurea.
What should you monitor if on a statin? LFTs at start 2,6, mo(AST/ALTcan cause cirrhotic hepatitis), CPK if complaints of myopathy(can cause myositis which leads to rhabdo which causes kidney failure)
