Interactions of Cytochrome P450 Inhibitors and Inducers with Statins
نویسندگان
چکیده
Statins are commonly used in the treatment of hyperlipidaemia. Although the benefits of statins are well-documented, they have the potential to cause myopathy and rhabdomyolysis due to the complex interactions of drugs, comorbidities and genetics. The cytochrome P450 family consists of major enzymes involved in drug metabolism and bioactivation. This article aims to highlight drug interactions involving statins, as well as provide updated recommendations and approaches regarding the safe and appropriate use of statins in the primary care setting.

Use of Drugs that Act on the Cytochrome P450 System in the Elderly
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to analyze medications that act on the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymatic system and are used daily by non-institutionalized elderly individuals. METHODS A cross-sectional population-based study of elderly individuals (> or = 60 years old) was conducted. All continuously used medications with hepatic metabolism via CYP450 that are classified as subst...
متن کاملDrug interactions with statins.
The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) are generally well tolerated as monotherapy. Statins are associated with two important adverse effects, asymptomatic elevation in liver enzymes and myopathy. Myopathy is most likely to occur when statins are administered with other drugs. Statins are substrates of multiple drug transporters (including OAT- -P1B1,...
متن کاملAn updated review of interactions of statins with antibacterial and antifungal agents
Numerous antimicrobial agents interact with statins. It is important to prevent these drug interactions and resulting statin toxicity and/or reduced efficacy. We review and highlight major drug-drug interactions between statins and antibacterial and antifungal agents; interactions with antiviral agents were not considered. Daptomycin interacts with statins via additive skeletal muscle toxicity....
متن کاملDrug interactions due to cytochrome P450.
Cytochrome P450 is a family of isozymes responsible for the biotransformation of several drugs. Drug metabolism via the cytochrome P450 system has emerged as an important determinant in the occurrence of several drug interactions that can result in drug toxicities, reduced pharmacological effect, and adverse drug reactions. Recognizing whether the drugs involved act as enzyme substrates, induce...
متن کاملRetracted: Role of cytochrome P450 in drug interactions
Drug-drug interactions have become an important issue in health care. It is now realized that many drug-drug interactions can be explained by alterations in the metabolic enzymes that are present in the liver and other extrahepatic tissues. Many of the major pharmacokinetic interactions between drugs are due to hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) enzymes being affected by previous administrat...
