What is Zypitamag?

Zypitamag is a statin which is prescribed by healthcare providers to help manage cholesterol in the blood. Zypitamag can reduce bad cholesterol by up to 44% and can increase good cholesterol by up to 7%. If you have high cholesterol, Zypitamag may be right for you.

1 It's Different

Your body processes Zypitamag differently than other statins.

Why this matters: Zypitamag has a reduced potential to interact with certain medications and foods you may be taking. This allows you to continue to enjoy your delicious grapefruit juice, unlike some other statins.

2 Side Effect Profile

At Zypitamag's highest dose, only 3.1% of patients experienced muscle pain¹.

Why this matters: Muscle pain is one of the more common-side effects from statin therapy. 62% of former statin users indicated that side-effects was the reason they stopped taking their medication².

If you are experiencing side-effects from current statin, ask your doctor if Zypitamag may be an appropriate alternative for you!

3 Adherence Rates

In clinical studies, less than 4% of patients stopped taking 4 mg pitavastatin due to side effects¹.

Why this matters: If you have high cholesterol, its important to take your medications as directed. Did you know that 40-75% of patients discontinue their statin just after one year?^3,4,5

4 Versus Other Statins

In clinical studies, pitavastatin was demonstrated to be:

as effective as atorvastatin (10 and 20 mg)*
as effective as simvastatin (20 and 40 mg)
better than pravastatin (10, 20 and 40 mg)*
