General Description

Pitavastatin Methanamine Salt is a medication that combines the cholesterol-lowering drug pitavastatin with the organic compound methanamine. Pitavastatin is a member of the statin class of medications, which work by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, thereby reducing the production of cholesterol by the liver. Methanamine, also known as hexamethylenetetramine, is a compound commonly used as a mild antiseptic. This combination medication is used to lower levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, and to increase levels of HDL cholesterol. It is prescribed to patients with high cholesterol levels as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
