Pimavanserin
Zypitamag (pitavastatin) is a prescription statin medication used to treat high cholesterol and hyperlipidemia. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver, which can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglyceride levels while potentially increasing good cholesterol (HDL). This medication is typically prescribed alongside diet and exercise changes for patients who have not achieved adequate cholesterol control through lifestyle modifications alone.

Zypitamag is indicated for the treatment of primary hyperlipidemia and mixed dyslipidemia to reduce elevated total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. It may also be used to slow the progression of atherosclerosis in appropriate patients.
Zypitamag contains pitavastatin, which belongs to a class of drugs called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). It works by blocking an enzyme in the liver responsible for producing cholesterol, thereby reducing the amount of cholesterol circulating in the bloodstream.
Zypitamag is typically taken once daily with or without food. Patients should maintain a cholesterol-lowering diet during treatment. Common side effects may include muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. Patients should report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness to their healthcare provider, as statins can rarely cause serious muscle problems. Liver function tests may be monitored periodically during treatment.
