Cerivastatin Products | Cleanchem - Cerivastatin is a statin used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. It works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is involved in cholesterol production in the liver. Cerivastatin is effective in reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides, improving heart health. However, it was withdrawn from the market due to safety concerns, particularly the risk of severe muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis).
