Pharmacology
Atorvastatin is a selective, competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme that converts HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a cholesterol precursor; it lowers plasma cholesterol and LDL levels by inhibiting hepatic cholesterol synthesis and increasing hepatic LDL receptor expression.
SOLIQUA 100/33 combines insulin glargine, a basal insulin analog that lowers blood glucose by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake and inhibiting hepatic glucose production, with lixisenatide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that increases glucose-dependent insulin release, decreases glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying.
