Pitavastatin is a prescription medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It belongs to a class of drugs known as statins, which work by inhibiting an enzyme needed for the body to produce cholesterol, thereby lowering the levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood.
Initial Dose: 1 mg to 2 mg taken once daily.
Maintenance Dose: The dose may be adjusted based on the patient's cholesterol levels and response to the medication. The usual maintenance dose ranges from 1 mg to 4 mg taken once daily.
Maximum Dose: 4 mg per day.
