Pitalo 1mg Tablet

Pitalo 1mg Tablet is a tablet made by Genix Pharma Ltd that contains Pitavastatin 1mg, a statin cholesterol-lowering medicine. It is used for high cholesterol and mixed dyslipidaemia. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Pitalo 1mg Tablet

Pitalo 1mg Tablet is used to lower raised cholesterol, particularly LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol, and to improve the overall balance of blood fats. Lowering cholesterol reduces the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries, which over time helps protect against heart attack and stroke. It is used together with a healthy, low-fat diet, regular exercise and other lifestyle changes.

How Pitalo 1mg Tablet works

Pitavastatin blocks HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme the liver uses to make cholesterol. With less cholesterol being made, the liver removes more LDL cholesterol from the blood, so blood levels fall.

Possible side effects

Pitalo 1mg Tablet is generally well tolerated. Possible side effects include:

• Muscle aches
• Headache
• Constipation or diarrhoea
• Back or joint pain
• Indigestion

Contact your doctor straight away if you have unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, especially with fever or dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney problems, an underactive thyroid, or drink large amounts of alcohol.
• It must not be taken with ciclosporin, and other medicines such as gemfibrozil, erythromycin and rifampicin may interact, so mention everything you take.
• Your doctor may check your liver and cholesterol with blood tests.
• Do not take it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and use reliable contraception if you could become pregnant.
• Keep taking Pitalo 1mg Tablet regularly, as cholesterol rises again when it is stopped.
