The organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1), a hepatocellular uptake transporter, modulates the systemic exposure of statins. The concurrent use of OATP1B1 inhibitors can increase systemic statin exposure and thus increase the risk of SAMS. METHODS: Individual case safety reports (ICSRs) of suspected adverse drug reactions ...[more]
