Child Dose
Safety and efficacy not established
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity; active liver disease or unexplained persistent elevated liver function tests. Pregnancy and lactation.
Mode of Action
Atorvastatin competitively inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme that catalyses the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate which is an early rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis. Ezetimibe inhibits the absorption of cholesterol from the intestine, thus decreasing the delivery of intestinal cholesterol to the liver.
Precaution
Hepatic impairment; patients consuming substantial quantities of alcohol with a history of liver disease. Not recommended for use in children <10 yr.
Lactation: Because of the potential for adverse reactions in nursing infants, women taking this drug should not breast feed. Contraindicated in breastfeeding women.

Interaction
Atorvastatin: Increases digoxin levels; increases anticoagulant effect of warfarin. Avoid the combination of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and fibrates. Ezetimibe: Cholestyramine decreases AUC of ezetimibe by approx 55%; ciclosporin may increase ezetimibe levels.
Potentially Fatal: Antacids decrease atorvastatin levels; colestipol decreases atorvastatin plasma levels; propranolol decreases antihyperlipidaemic activity of atorvastatin.
