Overview
Pitava 4mg Tablets (30 pack) contain pitavastatin, a statin medicine that lowers cholesterol to protect the heart and blood vessels. Pitavastatin reduces the amount of 'bad' LDL cholesterol the liver makes, helping lower raised cholesterol and slow the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries that leads to heart attacks and strokes. It is used alongside a healthy diet in people with high cholesterol or at increased cardiovascular risk. The 4mg strength is the higher dose. A doctor-prescribed, once-daily option helping people manage cholesterol and reduce their long-term heart-disease risk.
Active: Pitavastatin 4mg (as calcium) per tablet.
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor. Usually one tablet once daily, at any time of day but at the same time each day, with or without food, swallowed with water. Keep taking it long-term alongside a healthy diet, as cholesterol rises again if it is stopped. Attend the cholesterol and occasional liver blood tests your doctor arranges. Do not stop without advice.
Tell your doctor promptly about unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, especially with fever or dark urine. A rare but important muscle effect of statins. Tell your doctor about liver or kidney problems, thyroid problems or heavy alcohol use, and about other medicines (some interact with statins). Avoid large amounts of grapefruit. Do not use in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Store below 30°C. This product information is for general guidance only and does not replace professional medical advice.
