Research Papers that Mention the Interaction
“ Alcohol or orange juice and the fluvastatin were ingested more than 2 hours after the evening meal and within 1 hour of ingestion of the fluvastatin.”
“Because half-life could be analyzed in only 15 patients and a carryover effect could not be excluded, we can only conclude that concomitant use of alcohol might prolong the terminal half-life of fluvastatin.”
“In the first treatment period, the half-life was longer for fluvastatin with alcohol (103.9 7.1 minutes) than for fluvastatin alone (81.7 4.8 minutes; P = 0.044).”
“Six weeks of therapy with fluvastatin (40 mg/d) alone or combined with alcohol resulted in nearly identical decreases in levels of total cholesterol (22% and 23%, respectively), LDL cholesterol (28% and 29%, respectively), and apolipoprotein B (17% and 20%, respectively).”
“The longer Tmax of fluvastatin in patients consuming alcohol , which reflects prolonged absorption, may be explained by delayed gastric emptying during alcohol consumption [20].”
