1. Which of the following statements is not correct regarding drug interactions with atorvastatin, a component of atorvastatin/amlodipine tablets?
Caution is advised when using atorvastatin doses higher than 20 mg daily with clarithromycin
Coadministration of atorvastatin and itraconazole is contraindicated because of the risk for myopathy
The dose of atorvastatin should be limited to 10 mg daily with concomitant use of cyclosporine
Concomitant use of lipid-modifying doses of niacin with atorvastatin can increase the risk for myopathy
2. Which of the following statements is correct regarding the risk for liver dysfunction in patients receiving atorvastatin in combination with amlodipine?
Liver enzyme elevations are sporadic and occur irrespective of atorvastatin dose
Dose reduction may be required for persistent elevation in liver enzymes above 3 times the normal limit
Atorvastatin-related liver enzyme elevations often lead to jaundice and other symptoms of liver injury
Liver function tests should be performed at baseline and every 2 weeks thereafter for 2 months
3. Which of the following statements is not correct regarding the use of atorvastatin in combination with amlodipine?
Use of 80-mg atorvastatin daily can increase the risk for hemorrhagic stroke in patients with a recent history of a stroke
Atorvastatin should not be used in women who are pregnant or trying to conceive
Use of 80 mg/day of atorvastatin may increase the risk for nonfatal hemorrhagic stroke in patients who have recently had a transient ischemic attack
Atorvastatin is not secreted into breast milk and may be administered to nursing mothers
Which of the following statements is not correct regarding drug interactions with atorvastatin, a component of atorvastatin/amlodipine tablets?
Answer: Coadministration of atorvastatin and itraconazole is contraindicated because of the risk for myopathy
Use of atorvastatin with clarithromycin, azole antifungals, or lipid-modifying doses of niacin can increase the risk for myopathy. The dose of atorvastatin should not exceed 10 mg daily when taking cyclosporine, and caution is advised with doses higher than 20 mg daily when receiving treatment with clarithromycin or itraconazole.
Which of the following statements is correct regarding the risk for liver dysfunction in patients receiving atorvastatin in combination with amlodipine?
Answer: Dose reduction may be required for persistent elevation in liver enzymes above 3 times the normal limit
Atorvastatin is linked to a dose-dependent risk for liver enzyme elevations that, for the most part, are not associated with jaundice or other signs/symptoms of liver dysfunction and resolve on dose reduction, drug interruption, or discontinuation of therapy. Liver function tests should be performed before and 12 weeks after both initiation of therapy and dose increases, and periodically thereafter. Dose reduction or dose discontinuation is advised for persistent elevations greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal.
Which of the following statements is not correct regarding the use of atorvastatin in combination with amlodipine?
Answer: Atorvastatin is not secreted into breast milk and may be administered to nursing mothers
Because of the potential for secretion in breast milk and the attendant risk for serious adverse events in nursing infants, mothers receiving atorvastatin should not breast-feed their infants. Also, atorvastatin should not be used in pregnancy because of risk to the fetus. According to the FDA, study data suggest an increased risk for nonfatal hemorrhagic stroke with use of 80-mg atorvastatin in patients without coronary heart disease who have had a stroke or transient ischemic attack in the past 6 months.
