Questions to ask your doctor
1 Are my cholesterol levels under control?
Zypitamag can be used along with diet and exercise to lower bad cholesterol (LDL-C) while increasing good cholesterol (HDL-C). Ask your doctor to have your cholesterol levels checked to determine if Zypitamag is right for you!
2 Will taking a statin interact with any of my current medications?
Zypitamag is processed differently in the body than most statins, reducing the likelihood of interacting with certain other drugs. Talk to your doctor about the medicines you are taking while on a statin.
3 Are there any dietary restrictions associated with statin therapy?
Zypitamag can be taken with grapefruit juice and can be taken once daily, same time each day, with or without food.1
4 What time of the day should I take my statin?
Zypitamag is taken once daily, at the same time each day, with or without food.1
5 Do the new Blood Cholesterol Guidelines affect your choice of statin for me?
The 2018 ACC/AHA Multisociety Guidelines for Management of Blood Cholesterol were recently published. Ask your doctor if these guidelines have any impact on which statin is right for you!2
6 Is my muscle pain a side effect of the current statin I'm on?
Muscle pain, or myalgia, is a commonly reported side effect of statin therapy. Myalgia rates reported by patients treated with pitavastatin at the highest dose were 3.1%. If you are currently experiencing muscle pain associated with your current statin therapy, talk to your doctor to see if switching to Zypitamag may be right for you!1
