Fluvastatin Pharmacolgy Podcast

November 16, 2023

On this podcast episode, I discuss fluvastatin pharmacology, adverse effects, pharmacokinetics, and much more.


Fluvastatin is only a low to moderate-intensity statin which explains its limited use compared to rosuvastatin or atorvastatin.


I discuss drug interactions in the podcast but one important one to recognize is drugs that can inhibit CYP2C9.


Fluvastatin is considered a lipophilic statin. I have previously discussed this on the Meded101 blog which you can find here.
