Lipilou 5mg is approved… none are listed for reimbursement yet



Amid fierce competition in the hyperlipidemia drug market to develop 2nd generation ‘statin + ezetimibe’ combination drugs using low-strength statins, some low-dose atorvastatin products are also soon to enter the market.

On the 12th, the MFDS approved Chong Kun Dang's ‘Lipilou Tab 5mg.’ It is a 5 mg low-strength single tablet that contains atorvastatin calcium trihydrate.

This is the second single low-dose atorvastatin drug to be approved after Yuhan Corp’s 'Atorvastatin 5mg' in May last year.

Chong Kun Dang owns 3 ‘Lipilouzet Tab’ combination drugs that contain atorvastatin and ezetimibe. The three contain the same dose of ezetimibe of 10 mg, with different doses
