Statins are drugs used to lower blood cholesterol levels. They act by inhibiting an enzyme: HMG-CoA reductase, which is one of the key points in the synthesis of cholesterol.
However they also inhibit many other metabolites, adding other beneficial effects to its use, such an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, endothelium stabilizing and antithrombotic actions.
But this inhibition may be the cause of adverse effects, which the most frequent is muscle pain (myopathy).
Under normal conditions, statins enter the liver, exert their cholesterol-lowering action and are transformed to be eliminated in the urine. About 25 % of people have a genetic substitution that prevents statins from entering statins as normal.
Not being eliminated, statin levels increase in blood and penetrate the muscle, where they inhibit the synthesis of coenzyme Q10. This is a key molecule in the electron transport chain in the mitochondria, which is the basis of energy production in the muscle. When there is a Co-Q10 deficit, there is a reduced ATP synthesis and more free radicals are generated.
Statins are indicated to lower cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular diseases. There are people who experience muscle pain or weakness. Symptoms sometimes serious, which often are not associated to statins treatment. A genomic study avoids these side effects and contraindications to other drugs.
STATINSpgx includes an interpretation of the results for the most common prescription drugs that can be used immediately without other tools.
Interpretation of the report in polytherapy
In this report, the "green" labeling of a certain drug with the patient's genes indicates that it can be prescribed in the standard dose conditions disclosed in the prospectus or those recommended by the physician. This applies in the case of monotherapy.
However, if the patient takes several medications, which is very common, although in the report would appear in "green" can cause adverse effects due to possible interactions between them, which can sometimes be severe, either by toxicity or by therapeutic failure.
Drugs are chemicals that may interfere the normal metabolism of other drugs. Interferences that are also applicable to the chemical substances of various medicinal plants and food supplements.
Consequently, the whole of the medication, together with the consumer products or life habits of the patient, must undergo an evaluation of pharmacological interactions.
Consulting g-Nomic® Pharmacogenetics interpretation software, before prescribing, is an effective aid to avoid most adverse effects or therapeutic failures due to medication.
g-Nomic® interrelates all drugs, herbs, nutritional supplements and lifestyle, with the patient's genes. It also advises the most appropriate dose to prescribe.
