Pharmaceutical Composition Comprising Losartin For Treating or Preventing Statin BasedGrug-Induced Muscle Toxicity

Abstract

A pharmaceutical composition comprising losartan or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which is capable of treating or preventing side effects such as muscle toxicity caused by administering a statin-based lipid-lowering drug, and a pharmaceutical combination composition comprising a statin drug and a losartan drug as active ingredients are provided. The pharmaceutical composition comprising losartan or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof provides an effect on treating or preventing muscle-related side effects caused by administration of a statin drug for treating hyperlipidemia, as well as an intrinsic pharmacological effect for treating or preventing hypertension. When administered along with a statin drug in sequence or co-administered at the same time with the statin drug, the pharmaceutical composition can exhibit an effect of effectively or significantly decreasing or preventing side effects such as muscle toxicity.
