Medicine pack check sheet

Source-linked reading points

• Check LIVALO, pitavastatin, 1/2/4 mg, the actual NDC, 90-tablet bottle, white round tablet, KC imprint and target market together. mg is the labelled amount in that exact tablet, not a web calculation for tablet count, conversion to another statin or combining same-class medicines.
• The current label describes all three tablets as unscored. Colour, size, round shape and imprint are supporting checks only; they cannot authenticate a product and are not instructions to self-split, reduce use or replace one strength with another.
• The label identifies older age, kidney concerns, uncontrolled hypothyroidism, certain co-medications and other lipid-lowering therapy as matters for professional review, and includes muscle-related risk and a cyclosporine contraindication. Give every prescription medicine, OTC product, supplement and actual pack to a pharmacist or prescriber for item-by-item review; this page cannot turn these items into an individual co-use decision.
• With new or marked muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, especially with malaise or fever, or jaundice-like changes, dark urine, a serious allergy-like reaction, breathing difficulty or another acute serious concern, prioritise local medical support; do not test the cause by stopping and changing several medicines at once.
