Preferring pravastatin or rosuvastatin over simvastatin or atorvastatin which are heavily CYP3A4-dependent, reducing risk of myopathy and statin-associated symptoms.

medication
3

Calcium channel blocker alternatives

Selecting amlodipine or felodipine over verapamil or diltiazem which have significant CYP3A4 metabolism, reducing interaction potential and blood pressure variability.

medication

Additional treatment options

Benzodiazepine alternatives

Using lorazepam, oxazepam, or temazepam which undergo glucuronidation rather than CYP3A4 oxidation, for anxiety or insomnia management when applicable.

medication
