Pharmacological Effects: Pitavastatin works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in the production of cholesterol in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, pitavastatin helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Clinical Trials: In a randomized controlled trial published in the American Journal of Cardiology, pitavastatin was compared to other statins for its effectiveness in reducing LDL cholesterol levels. The study concluded that pitavastatin was non-inferior to other statins and well-tolerated by patients.
