What is Livalo

Livalo and the generic alternative pitavastatin are medications prescribed to treat high cholesterol. Pitavastatin should be used with lifestyle changes such as eating a low fat diet and exercising as well as losing weight and stopping smoking if necessary to lower the levels of “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides and to increase levels of “good” cholesterol in your body. Livalo slows the production of cholesterol which is made by the liver and decreases cholesterol buildup on the walls of your arteries allowing blood to flow easier.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication.

• Livalo is usually taken once a day and can be taken with or without food.
• Your Livalo dosage is based on your medical condition, other medications that you take and your response to treatment. You should not change your dosage or the frequency that you take this medication unless you have been advised by your doctor.
• If you also take bile acid-binding resins (such as cholestyramine or colestipol) to lower your cholesterol, then you should take Livalo at least one hour before or four hours after taking these medications. Acid-binding resins may react with pitavastatin which can prevent it from fully absorbing.
• Livalo is most effective when taken regularly and should be taken at the same time each day. Continue to take this medication even when you feel well.

Make sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist:

• If you have any drug allergies.
• Which other prescription and non-prescription medications you currently take.
• Your medical history especially of liver or kidney disease.
• If you drink alcohol.

Also be aware that:

• You should limit your alcohol intake as drinking alcohol can increase your risk of liver problems. This risk is even higher when combined with this medication.
• Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of Livalo.
• Pitavastatin must not be taken during pregnancy. Ask your doctor about suitable birth control while taking this medication and immediately inform your doctor if you believe that you might be pregnant.

Common Livalo side effects may include but are not limited to:

• Back pain, muscle pain or a pain in your arms or legs.
• Diarrhea.
• Constipation.

Contact your doctor if you experience any of the following pitavastatin side effects:

• Confusion or memory problems.
• Signs of liver problems including loss of appetite, jaundice, dark urine, tiredness, pain in the upper right side of your stomach or clay colored stools.
• Signs of kidney problems such as vomiting, swelling, rapid weight gain, little or no urination or a pain in your side or lower back.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Livalo?

If you miss a dose of this medication, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, then skip your missed dose.
