Pharmacology

Corvastin 10 mg is a selective and competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme that converts 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A to mevalonate, a precursor of cholesterol. It produces its lipid-modifying effects in two ways. First, it increases the number of hepatic LDL receptors on the cell surface to enhance uptake and catabolism of LDL. Second, the solution inhibits hepatic synthesis of VLDL, which reduces the total number of VLDL and LDL particles.

Dosage of Corvastin 10 mg

Dose range: 5-40 mg once daily. Use 40 mg dose only for patients not reaching LDL-C goal with 20 mgHoFH: Starting dose 20 mg/day.Pediatric patients with HeFH: 5-10 mg/day for patients 8 to less than 10 years age, and 5-20 mg/day for patients 10 to 17 years of age.Pediatric patients with HoFH: 20 mg/day for patients 7 to 17 years of age.

  • Lopinavir/Ritonavir or atazanavir/ritonavir: When used in combination, these medications can elevate its exposure. The recommended dose should be limited to 10 mg once daily.
  • Coumarin anticoagulants: Combining with coumarin anticoagulants can prolong the international normalized ratio (INR). Achieve a stable INR before initiating treatment and monitor it frequently until it remains stable during therapy.
  • Concomitant lipid-lowering therapies: When used with fibrates and niacin products, there may be an increased risk of skeletal muscle effects.
