Abstract

Introducción: dislipemia prevalence in type 2 diabetes is very often, between 35 to 56%; and despite new therapeutic options, statins continue being the drugs of first choice for treatment.

Objectives: analyze the possible pharmacological interactions between statins and non-insulin drugs used in type 2 diabetic patients to normalize blood glucose. Inhibition of statins on HMG-CoA is highly selective, so pharmacodynamic interactions are not expected. But regarding pharmacokinetics, there are several levels where interactions with other drugs may occur. Three main levels of pharmacokinetic interactions have been described so far: membrane transporter OATP1B1, cytochrome P450 and absorption.

Materials and methods: bibliographic review

Conclusions: after analyzing the interaction of statins with metformin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, DPP4 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, we conclude that
the availability of studies of pharmacological interactions in type 2 diabetic patients is scarce. Some interactions that modify AUC and Cmax were described, but no clinical implications were evident.
