About this active substance
Lomitapide is a medication used to lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a rare genetic condition. It works by inhibiting a protein involved in lipid transport, thereby reducing cholesterol production in the liver.
The medication is taken as capsules and is usually prescribed alongside a low-fat diet and other cholesterol-lowering treatments. Treatment requires regular monitoring to assess effectiveness and prevent adverse effects.
Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and elevated liver enzymes. It is important for patients to avoid alcohol consumption and strictly follow their doctor's recommendations.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use lomitapide, and patients must inform their doctor about any other medications they are taking to avoid drug interactions.
