Overview

During the recent years statins (HMG CoA reductase inhibitors) have gained one of the most important possessions in the field of pharmacotherapy. They exert primarily very good hypolipidemic properties with high impact on lowering both total and LDL-cholesterol, powerful predictors of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Statins are also well known for their pleiotropic effects and are overall considered to be well tolerated drugs, which have been verified by many controlled randomized clinical trials and meta-analysis. The frequency of clinically important serious adverse events is relatively low, but in patients at a high risk a serious drug induced damage may appear in case of drug treatment. The real risk of statins is related not only directly to the risk potential of the statin molecule but also to concomitant administration to risk groups of patients.

Key words:
HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, drug interactions, statins, risk of the treatment
