Lovastatin Pharmacology Podcast

Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals · Jul 27, 2023 · 14m

On this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology Podcast, I discuss lovastatin pharmacology, adverse effect, drug interactions, and more!

Lovastatin is broken down by CYP3A4 so drugs like clarithromycin, diltiazem, and others may increase concentrations.

Lovastatin is a lipophilic statin and I discuss the importance of this on the podcast.

Lovastatin has a very short half-life which means that it is ideal to dose this medication at night for maximal efficacy.
