What makes ZYPITAMAG different from most statins

How Zypitamag is processed
ZYPITAMAG uses a less busy enzyme pathway so it is less likely to cause problems with other medications you take. CYP450 stands for cytochrome P450 which is a common enzyme used to process 70-80% of medications. UGTs stands for uridine 5'-diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) which is an enzyme that metabolizes pitavastatin by a process called glucuronidation.

Statins, like most medications, are metabolized by enzymes in our body. 70–80% of medications are processed by the same family of enzymes known as CYP450. When these enzyme pathways become too busy it can lead to drug interactions.

ZYPITAMAG bypasses this enzyme family and is instead mainly processed by a less busy enzyme family (UGTs). This leads to a reduced potential for certain interactions with other medications.
