Dosage and Administration
Inside.
Take at any time of the day, regardless of food intake. Before starting treatment with Atorvastatin-SZ, you should try to achieve control of hypercholesterolemia using diet, exercise and weight loss in patients with obesity, as well as therapy for the underlying disease.
When prescribing the drug, the patient should recommend a standard hypocholesterolemic diet, which he must adhere to during the entire period of therapy.
The dose of the drug varies from 10 mg to 80 mg once a day and is titrated taking into account the initial concentration of LDL-C, the purpose of the therapy and the individual effect on the therapy. The maximum daily dose for a single dose is 80 mg. At the beginning of treatment and / or during an increase in the dose of Atorvastatin-SZ, it is necessary to monitor the concentration of lipids in the blood plasma every 2 to 4 weeks and adjust the dose of the drug accordingly.
Primary hypercholesterolemia and combined (mixed) hyperlipidemia
For most patients – 10 mg once a day, the therapeutic effect is manifested for 2 weeks and usually reaches a maximum within 4 weeks. With prolonged treatment, the effect persists.
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
The initial dose is selected individually depending on the severity of the disease. In most cases, the optimal effect is observed when using the drug in a dose of 80 mg once a day (a decrease in the concentration of LDL-C by 18 – 45%).
Insufficiency of liver function
Caution is necessary in case of insufficiency of liver function (due to the slowing down of elimination of the drug from the body). Clinical and laboratory parameters should be carefully monitored (regular monitoring of the activity of liver transaminases: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)). With a significant increase in hepatic transaminases, the dose of Atorvastatin-SZ should be reduced or treatment should be discontinued.
Insufficiency of renal function
Impaired renal function does not affect the concentration of atorvastatin in the blood plasma or the degree of decrease in the concentration of LDL cholesterol during therapy with Atorvastatin-SZ, therefore, dose adjustment of the drug is not required. Elderly patients There were no differences in the efficacy, safety, or therapeutic effect of Atorvastatin-SZ in elderly patients compared with the general population and dose adjustment is not required (see the Pharmacokinetics section).
Use in combination with other medicines
If necessary, simultaneous use with cyclosporine, telaprevir or a combination of tipranavir / ritonavir, the dose of the drug Atorvastatin-SZ should not exceed 10 mg / day. Caution should be exercised and the lowest effective dose of atorvastatin should be used while it is used with HIV protease inhibitors, hepatitis C inhibitors, clarithromycin and itraconazole. (see the section “Special Instructions”).
Side effects of
In controlled clinical trials (n = 2502), less than 2% of patients discontinued treatment due to side effects caused by atorvastatin. The most common adverse effects associated with taking atorvastatin were constipation, flatulence, dyspepsia, and abdominal pain.
From the side of the nervous system and sensory organs: 2% – headache, asthenic syndrome, insomnia, dizziness
From the side of the cardiovascular system: 2% – chest pain AD, phlebitis, arrhythmia, angina pectoris, anemia, lymphadenopathy, thrombocytopenia .
From the respiratory system: 2% – sinusitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, rhinitis
From the digestive tract: 2% – abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea, dyspepsia, flatulence, nausea
From the musculoskeletal system: 2 % – arthralgia, myalgia, arthritis
From the genitourinary system: 2% – urogenital infections, peripheral edema
From the skin:
Allergic reactions: 2% – skin rash
Other: 2% – infections, accidental injury, flu-like syndrome, back pain Alkaline phosphatase, increased ALT or AST, exacerbation of gout.
Side effects noted in post-marketing studies with atorvastatin therapy: anaphylaxis, angioedema, bullous rash (including erythema multiforme exudative, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis), rhabdomyolysis, tendon rupture.
Drug Interaction
Risk of myopathy during treatment with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors with concomitant use of cyclosporine, fibrates, antibiotics (erythromycin, clarithromycin, quinoprostin, and dalfoprozine) – azole derivatives, – and nicotinic acid in lipid-lowering doses (more than 1 g / day) (see section “Special instructions”).
CYPZA4 isoenzyme inhibitors
Because atorvastatin is metabolized by CYPZA4 isoenzyme, co-administration of atorvastatin with CYPZA4 isoenzyme inhibitors may lead to an increase in the concentration of atorvastatin in blood plasma. The degree of interaction and the potentiation effect are determined by the variability of the effect on the CYP3 isoenzyme4.
OATP1B1 transport protein inhibitors
Atorvastatin and its metabolites are substrates of the OATP1B1 transport protein. OATP1B1 inhibitors (eg, cyclosporine) may increase the bioavailability of atorvastatin. Thus, the combined use of atorvastatin at a dose of 10 mg and cyclosporine at a dose of 5.2 mg / kg / day leads to an increase in the concentration of atorvastatin in the blood plasma by 7.7 times. When co-administered with cyclosporine, the dose of Atorvastatin-SZ should not exceed 10 mg / day (see section Administration and dose ).
Erythromycin / clarithromycin
Atorvastatin and erythromycin (500 mg 4 times a day) or clarithromycin (500 mg 2 times a day), which inhibit the CYP3 isoenzyme 4, increased plasma concentrations of atorvastatin in plasma. instructions »). Caution should be exercised and the lowest effective dose of atorvastatin co-administered with clarithromycin should be used.
protease inhibitors
The concomitant use of atorvastatin with protease inhibitors known as CYPZA4 isoenzyme inhibitors is accompanied by an increase in the plasma plasma atorvastatin concentration (concomitant use of erythromycin Cmax by 40%.
Combination of protease inhibitors
Patients receiving HIV protease inhibitors and hepatitis C inhibitors should be cautious and use the lowest effective dose of atorvastatin. In patients receiving telaprevir or a combination of tipranavir / ritonavir, the dose of Atorvastatin-SZ should not exceed 10 mg / day.
Patients, HIV protease inhibitor tipranavir plus ritonavir or hepatitis C protease inhibitor telaprevir should be avoided at the same time as Atorvastatin-SZ. Patients taking HIV protease inhibitors lopinavir plus ritonavir should exercise caution when administering Atorvastatin-SZ and the lowest dose required. In patients receiving HIV protease inhibitors saquinavir plus ritonavir, darunavir plus ritonavir, fosamprenavir or fosamprenavir plus ritonavir, the dose of Atorvastatin-SZ should not exceed 20 mg and the drug should be used with caution. In patients receiving the HIV protease inhibitor nelfinavir or the hepatitis C protease inhibitor boceprevir, the dose of Atorvastatin-SZ should not exceed 40 mg, and careful clinical monitoring is recommended.
Diltiazem
Co-administration of atorvastatin at 40 mg with 240 mg of diltiazem results in increased plasma concentrations of atorvastatin.
Ketoconazole, spironolactone and cimetidine
Caution should be exercised when using atorvastatin with drugs that reduce the concentration of endogenous steroid hormones such as ketoconazole, spironolactone and cimetidine.
Itraconazole
Concomitant use of atorvastatin at doses of 20 mg to 40 mg and itraconazole at a dose of 200 mg increased the atorvastatin AUC. Caution should be exercised and the lowest effective dose of atorvastatin co-administered with itraconazole.
Grapefruit juice
Because grapefruit juice contains one or more components that inhibit the CYP3 isoenzyme, its excessive consumption (more than 1.2 l per day) may cause an increase in the concentration of atorvastatin in the blood plasma.
CYPZA4 isoenzyme inducers
Co-administration of atorvastatin with CYPZA4 isoenzyme inducers (eg, efavirenz, phenytoin or rifampicin) may lead to a decrease in the concentration of atorvastatin in blood plasma. Due to the dual mechanism of interaction with rifampicin (an inducer of the CYPZA4 isoenzyme and an inhibitor of the hepatocyte transport protein OATP1B1), simultaneous use of atorvastatin and rifampicin is recommended, since delayed administration of atorvastatin after administration of rifampicin will result in the reduction of suprasin.
Antacids
Simultaneous intake of a suspension containing magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide, reduced the concentration of atorvastatin in the blood plasma by about 35%, but the degree of decrease in the concentration of cholesterol-LDL did not change.
Phenazone
Atorvastatin does not affect the pharmacokinetics of phenazone, so interaction with other drugs metabolized by the same cytochrome isoenzymes is not expected.
Colestipol
With concomitant administration of colestipol, the concentration of atorvastatin in the blood plasma decreased by about 25%, but the hypolipidemic effect of the combination of atorvastatin and colestipol was superior to that of each drug separately.
Digoxin
At repeated administration of digoxin and atorvastatin at a dose of 10 mg, the equilibrium concentrations of digoxin in the blood plasma did not change. However, when using digoxin in combination with atorvastatin at a dose of 80 mg / day. the concentration of digoxin increased by about 20%.
Patients receiving digoxin in combination with atorvastatin require appropriate follow-up.
Azithromycin
With concomitant use of atorvastatin at a dose of 10 mg 1 time per day and azithromycin at a dose of 500 mg 1 time per day, the concentration of atorvastatin in the blood plasma did not change.
Oral contraceptives
When atorvastatin and oral contraceptives containing norethisterone and ethinylestradiol were administered concomitantly, a significant increase in norethisterone and ethinylestradiol AUC was observed by approximately 30% and 20%, respectively. This effect should be considered when choosing an oral contraceptive for a woman taking atorvastatin.
Terfenadine
No concurrent changes in the pharmacokinetics of terfenadine were observed with the concomitant use of atorvastatin and terfenadine.
Warfarin
Concomitant use of atorvastatin with warfarin may increase the effect of warfarin on blood coagulation rates in the first days (decrease in prothrombin time). This effect disappears after 15 days of simultaneous use of these drugs.
Amlodipine
With atorvastatin 80 mg and 10 mg amlodipine, atorvastatin pharmacokinetics did not change at steady state.
Other Concomitant Therapies
In clinical trials, atorvastatin was used in combination with antihypertensive agents and estrogens in the context of replacement therapy for signs of clinically significant undesirable interaction. No interaction studies with specific drugs were reported.
overdose
In the event of an overdose, the following general measures are required: monitoring and maintaining the vital functions of the body, as well as prevention of further absorption of the drug (gastric lavage, activated charcoal or laxatives). In the development of myopathy followed by rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure (a rare but severe side effect), the drug should be immediately discontinued and infusion of diuretic and sodium bicarbonate initiated. Hemodialysis should be performed if necessary. Rhabdomyolysis can lead to hyperkalemia, which requires the intravenous administration of a solution of calcium chloride or a solution of calcium gluconate, infusion of 5% solution of dextrose (glucose) with insulin, the use of potassium exchange resins. Because the drug actively binds to plasma proteins, hemodialysis is ineffective.
