To describe patients with decreased libido during use of a HMG-CoA-reductase-inhibitor, and to discuss causality and pharmacological hypotheses for this association by analysis of the adverse drug reactions (ADR) database of the Netherlands Pharmacovigilance Centre Lareb.
Eight patients were identified as having decreased libido during use of statins. In two of these cases testosterone levels were determined and appeared to be decreased.
Decreased libido is a probable adverse drug reaction of HMG-CoA-reductase-inhibitors and is reversible. The ADR may be caused by low serum testosterone levels, mainly due to intracellular cholesterol depletion.
描述使用HMG-CoA还原酶抑制剂期间出现性欲减退的患者,并通过分析荷兰药物警戒中心Lareb的药物不良反应(ADR)数据库,探讨这种关联的因果关系和药理学假设。
8名患者被确定在使用他汀类药物期间出现性欲减退。其中2例测定了睾酮水平,结果显示降低。
性欲减退可能是HMG-CoA还原酶抑制剂的药物不良反应,且是可逆的。该不良反应可能由血清睾酮水平降低引起,主要是由于细胞内胆固醇耗竭。
