  • Title: [A Woman Experienced Severe Thrombocytopenia When Treated With Fluvastatin].
    Author: Potier A, Dony A, Crapsky A, Ferry O, Piney D, Dufay E.
    Journal: Therapie; 2015; 70(6):541-4. PubMed ID: 26238127.
    Abstract:
    A 62-year-old woman treated with fluvastatin experienced three separate thrombocytopenic illnesses, severe on two occasions associated with nadir platelet count of 57 000/µL and 75 000/µL. The hospital pharmacist replaced fluvastatin by pravastatin during three stays. Platelet count has increased some days after this substitution. These results suggest that fluvastatin could be involved in these thrombocytopenic episodes.
