Livalo Information

reviewed by Carol Hou, Pharmacist on 7/4/2024 11:23:50 AM.

Livalo Details (Brand and Generic)

Canadapharmacyonline.com offers Livalo from Kowa Pharm in the United States and Recordati Pharma in Turkey (Alipza). The generic Pivastatin, also called Pivasta, comes from India and is manufactured by Zydus Healthcare. Our customers may also purchase Crestor and other cholesterol medications.

Dosage

Livalo (Pitavastatin) is available as tablets in the strength of 1 mg, 2 mg, and 4 mg; for more dosage information, please refer to Healthline.

Usage

Livalo is a prescription medication that is used in combination with a heart-healthy diet to treat high cholesterol in adults and an inherited form of high cholesterol (heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH)) in children at least eight years old (source). Pitavastatin belongs to a group of drugs called HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, or “statins.” It reduces the amount of cholesterol the liver makes by blocking the enzyme needed to make cholesterol (source). Lowering bad cholesterol and triglycerides and raising good cholesterol will decrease the risk of heart disease and help prevent strokes and heart attacks. Livalo will work better with other lifestyle changes such as exercise, quitting smoking, and eating a proper diet (source).

It is crucial to take this medication exactly as your doctor prescribes and refer to the package insert. Please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.

Side Effects

The common side effects of Livalo may include back pain, constipation, diarrhea, muscle pain, and pain in your arms or legs (source).

Call your doctor immediately if you have any of the following severe side effects such as:
• Confusion or memory problems;
• Dark colored urine;
• Fever;
• Liver or kidney problems;
• Muscle pain, weakness, or tenderness;
• Nausea or vomiting

The above information is a summary and may not contain all the side effects of this medication. Please visit RxList and National Library of Medicine for a complete list of side effects. Please note that individual reactions may vary, and not everyone will experience all the adverse reactions. If you still have questions about side effects, we suggest further conversations with your doctor.

Warnings and Interactions

You should not use Livalo if you are allergic to Pitavastatin, are taking cyclosporine, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have liver disease (source). Before you start taking this medication, tell your doctor about your medical history and if you drink large amounts of alcohol or if you have ever had:
• A thyroid disorder;
• Liver or kidney disease

Do not eat foods high in fat or cholesterol; Livalo will work better with a cholesterol-lowering diet plan. Avoid drinking alcohol; it can raise triglyceride levels and may increase your risk of liver damage (source). Tell your doctor about all your medications, including prescriptions, OTC, herbal supplements, and vitamins. There may be a drug interaction between Pitavastatin and other medications. Livalo should not be given to a child without medical advice. For a comprehensive list of precautions and interactions associated with Livalo, please check out MedicalNewsToday.
