Users must adhere to a standard low cholesterol diet before use and during treatment.

Is lovastatin a blood thinner?

Blood thinner is a kind of medicine or food that can dilute blood. In fact, foods such as blood thinners can be seen everywhere in life, such as radish soup, green plum walnut, corn and oolong tea, which all have the function of thinning blood.

Understand the differences between Lovastatin, Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin and other 7 commonly used statins in one minute

There is no best statin, only the most suitable one.

There are 7 commonly used statin products, namely lovastatin, simvastatin, pravastatin, fluvastatin, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and pitavastatin.

These statin products all promote the metabolism of low-density lipoprotein and increase the concentration of high-density lipoprotein by inhibiting hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase in the process of cholesterol synthesis in the body. In addition, they also have anti-inflammatory, plaque stabilization, improvement of endothelial cell function, improvement of left ventricular function, and inhibition of immune response. It is worth mentioning that no matter which statin drug, the incidence of adverse reactions tends to increase with increasing doses, and attention should be paid during use.

According to the order of structural modification, it can be divided into three generations

First generation
Lovastatin, simvastatin and pravastatin. Lovastatin and simvastatin have similar properties, with moderate lipid-lowering strength, and simvastatin is more commonly used. Pravastatin is a moderate-effect statin.

Second generation
Fluvastatin is the first fully synthetic statin drug and a moderate-effect statin.

Third generation
Atorvastatin, rosuvastatin and pitavastatin are synthetic counterparts. Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin are potent statins with long-acting effects; pitavastatin is a moderate-effect statin with long-acting effects.

Differences

Different indications

Lovastatin and simvastatin are used for primary hypercholesterolemia, and are also used for patients with combined hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia, with hypercholesterolemia as the main symptom.

Pravastatin has a more obvious effect on lowering cholesterol, but has little effect on lowering triglycerides.

Fluvastatin has the function of directly inhibiting the proliferation of arterial smooth muscle cells and delaying intimal thickening. It is used for hypercholesterolemia that is ineffective with dietary control.

Atorvastatin is used for patients with primary hypercholesterolemia, mixed hyperlipidemia or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia that is ineffective with dietary control.

Rosuvastatin is used for hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia.

Pitavastatin is used for hypercholesterolemia and familial hypercholesterolemia.

In actual use, there are individual differences. Each person has different sensitivities to different statins, and medication adjustments need to be made based on the extent of blood lipid reduction, adverse reactions, etc.

What to avoid while taking lovastatin?

1. Serum transaminase should be checked before using Lovastatin powder. If the serum transaminase continues to rise to more than three times the upper limit of normal value, it should be stopped.

2. During the period of use, symptoms of suspected myopathy, such as diffuse myalgia, muscle tenderness or weakness, and/or a significant increase in phosphocreatine kinase, should be stopped.

3. Lovastatin only moderately reduces triglyceride, so it is not suitable for people with hypertriglyceridemia as the main abnormality (i.e. hyperlipidemia types I, IV and V).

4. Patients with rare homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia may be more likely to have elevated serum transaminase by using Lovastatin because of their lack of functional LDL receptor.

5. If there are acute or serious conditions, especially those who are prone to renal failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis, including severe acute infection, hypotension, major surgery, trauma, severe metabolism, endocrine or electrolyte imbalance and uncontrollable convulsions, the use of Lovastatin should be suspended or terminated.

6. People receiving immunosuppressive therapy are taking gemfibrozil or nicotinic acid and taking Lovastatin at the same time, which has been reported to cause myopathy, so the advantages and disadvantages should be weighed.

7, Lovastatin and erythromycin used at the same time, should be careful.
