<<藥物作用>>
    此藥為一種稱為「Statin類」「降低膽固醇」的藥物。如果身體有太多的膽固醇或脂肪積聚於血管中,將會使血管阻塞,導致血液不能順暢地在血管中流通。由於血液不流通,將使血管內的壓力增加,因而導致高血壓,甚至造成腦血管破裂而導致中風。由於血液不流通,也會使血液運送氧氣的能力降低,由於心臟氧氣的缺乏,最終可能會導致心臟病或心絞痛的發生。
     Lovastatin 的藥理作用在於抑制膽固醇生化合成過程中極重要稱為「HMG-CoA 還原酶」的催化作用﹑此一重要的催化作用受阻後﹑膽固醇不能順利產生﹑在體內的產量自然降低﹑而最終達到降低膽固醇的目的。

<<用法>>
    此藥通常是一天服用一至兩次。由於膽固醇在晚上到清晨5點的時候分泌最多,因此如果一天服藥一次,最好能安排於晚飯時服用。如果一天服藥兩次,則於早餐及晚餐時,各服用一次。如有必要時,此藥的藥片可以壓碎與食物或水混合服用。

<<注意事項>>
     禁忌症:對Lovastatin藥物過敏者。孕婦﹑乳哺婦女﹑以及患有嚴重肝臟疾病﹑肝功能指數不明原因持續過高的病患不該使用此藥。
     如果懷孕,用母乳哺乳嬰兒,對藥物過敏,經常飲用大量的酒,或者有肝臟疾病﹑低血壓﹑癲癇症等,醫師需要針對這些情況謹慎用藥,因此在使用此藥前,應該先通知醫師。
     美國藥管局(FDA)將此藥歸類為X級:X級表示動物或人類實驗已證實藥物會導致胎兒先天性缺陷且用藥的風險明顯大於其益處﹑服用此類藥物對孕婦是絕對禁忌。由於此藥對胎兒的損害相當大,因此在服藥期間,應該使用極安全有效的方式避孕或與醫師討論適當的避孕方法。萬一在服藥期間發現已懷孕時,就應該立即通知醫師。
    此藥只能用來控制膽固醇過高,並不能根治此一病症。為了更有效降低膽固醇,除了定期服藥外,仍舊需要遵循醫師指示,食用低脂肪的食物﹑做適當的運動及減輕體重等,才能達到穩定膽固醇的效果。
    服用此藥一陣子後,除了得到醫師許可外,不可突然停止服藥。突然停藥,有可能會造成膽固醇突然升高。
    膽固醇過高﹑高血壓﹑糖尿病﹑身體過度的肥胖﹑吸煙等,都是造成血管硬化﹑導致中風及心臟病發作的主要因素。因此應該遵循醫師的指示,戒煙酒﹑食用低鹽量低脂肪的食物及使用適當的藥物以控制高血壓﹑糖尿病,及膽固醇過高等等。
  此藥最值得關注的副作用,就是可能對肝臟的影響。醫師可能會在服藥前﹑以及服藥後的六個禮拜及十二個禮拜要求驗血以測量肝功能是否正常﹑並且測量膽固醇的含量以適當調整所服用的劑量。患者應該依照醫師的指示,定期到醫院或診所做血液的檢驗。由於飲用大量的酒精可能會加重藥物對肝臟的損傷,服用此藥期間,應該盡量減少飲酒。
  此藥為一種稱為Statin類的「降膽固醇」藥物﹑這一類藥物較嚴重及值得關切的副作用為肌肉細胞發炎而產生溶解的現像﹑雖然發生此一副作用的機率相當低﹑但發生此一副作用後,將有可能造成腎臟方面的傷害。單純的肌肉細胞溶解﹑並不會造成多大的損害﹑但是未完全溶解的肌肉細胞組織﹑經過血液的循環﹑經由尿液到達腎臟後﹑如果阻塞住腎管的流通﹑有造成腎臟衰竭的可能。在服藥的期間﹑如果您突然有與運動無關或者不名原因引起的肌肉疼痛﹑觸痛及肌肉疲乏無力﹑尤其此肌肉酸痛伴隨著發燒及全身不舒服現像﹑就應該盡快通知醫師。
     以上所敘述肝功能及橫紋肌副作用雖嚴重,但其發生的機率相當微小,發怖此訊息的目的在於提供民眾正確藥物訊息及處理方式。美國藥管局(FDA)曾發出多次聲明強調「Statin類」藥物對防止心血管病變的重要性及必要性, 病患不可勿視此藥物可能提供的優點,更不該突然停止使用此藥物。

<<副作用>>
      Lovastatin 最常見的副作用為為:腹痛(高達 2.5%),便秘(高達 3.5%)。其它可能副作用包括:失眠﹑皮膚發紅﹑腹瀉﹑胸口灼熱或胃痛﹑排氣增加﹑噁心﹑頭暈﹑頭痛等,這些副作用,通常在服用藥物一陣子後,身體漸漸習慣了此藥物的作用,應該會漸漸地消失;不過,如果達到困擾你的程度,或者經過一段時間後,這些症狀還不能完全消除,就應該通知醫師。
     此藥較嚴重的副作用為:視覺模糊或視覺改變﹑發燒﹑肌肉痛﹑肌肉抽筋﹑極度的疲倦或虛弱等等,通常這些副作用發生的機率較低,但是如果發生時,應該盡快通知醫師。

<<懷孕及哺乳>>
     美國藥管局(FDA)將此藥歸類為X級:X級表示動物或人類實驗已證實藥物會導致胎兒先天性缺陷且用藥的風險明顯大於其益處﹑服用此類藥物對孕婦是絕對禁忌。
  孕婦不該服用此藥,此藥會影響胎兒骨骼正常的發育及成長,同時也可能會降低胎兒體內所需要的膽固醇,間接地影響到胎兒腦部及神經的發展。如果在服藥期間發現已經懷孕,就應該立即停止服藥,並且通知醫師。
     Micromedex公司哺乳評級結論﹕ 對嬰兒的風險性還無法排除。
(由於現有資料不足或專家結論不同情況下﹑無法充分證明哺乳期間使用藥物是否會增加嬰兒的風險。婦女若考慮使用母奶哺乳嬰兒﹑應該權衡藥物的優點或藥物對嬰兒潛在的風險性。)
    目前为止,尚不知此药是否会经由母乳到达婴儿体内,但與此藥同類型的另一藥物已被證實會分泌入母乳。为了避免造成新生儿发生严重副作用,餵奶的母亲应该使用其它乳制品以取代母乳。

<<忘記用藥>>
   為了有效地降低膽固醇,必須定期服用藥物。如果忘記服藥,應該在記得時,立即服用;但是,如果距離下次服藥的時間太近,就應該捨棄所遺忘的藥物,恢復到正常服藥的時間,千萬不可一次服用雙倍的劑量。

Do not stop taking DILANTIN without first talking to a healthcare provider.
•  Stopping DILANTIN suddenly can cause serious problems.  Stopping a seizure
medicine suddenly in a patient who has epilepsy can cause seizures that will not
stop (status epilepticus).
Suicidal thoughts or actions can be caused by things other than medicines.  If you have
suicidal thoughts or actions, your healthcare provider may check for other causes.
2.  Dilantin may harm your unborn baby.
•  If you take DILANTIN during pregnancy, your baby is at risk for serious birth
defects.
• Birth defects may occur even in children born to women who are not taking
any medicines and do not have other risk factors  
• If you take DILANTIN during pregnancy, your baby is also at risk for
bleeding problems right after birth.  Your healthcare provider may give you
and your baby medicine to prevent this.  
• All women of child-bearing age should talk to their healthcare provider about
using other possible treatments instead of DILANTIN.  If the decision is made
to use DILANTIN, you should use effective birth control (contraception)
unless you are planning to become pregnant.
• Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant while taking
DILANTIN. You and your healthcare provider should decide if you will take
DILANTIN while you are pregnant.
• Pregnancy Registry: If you become pregnant while taking DILANTIN, talk to
your healthcare provider about registering with the North American
Antiepileptic Drug Pregnancy Registry. You can enroll in this registry by
calling 1-888-233-2334. The purpose of this registry is to collect information
about the safety of antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy.
3. Swollen glands (lymph nodes)  
4.  Allergic reactions or serious problems which may affect organs and other

breastfeed. You should not do both.
