A pharmacokinetics‐based approach to the monitoring of patient adherence to atorvastatin therapy

Abstract The inadequate adherence of patients whose hyperlipidemia is treated with atorvastatin (ATR) to medical instructions presents a serious health risk. Our aim was to develop a flexible approach based on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), nonparametric population pharmacokinetic modeling, and...

Nonparametric, mixed‐effect population pharmacokinetic models of the sums of atorvastatin and atorvastatin lactone concentrations (ATR+ATRL) and of the concentrations of the acid and lactone forms of ATR and its 2‐ and 4‐hydroxylated pharmacologically active metabolites (ATR+MET) were elaborated by including the TDM results obtained in 128 samples collected from thirty‐nine subjects.

The results of the simulations were processed to allow the estimation of the adherence of further 26 subjects who were phlebotomized at sampling times of 2–20 h postdose by calculating the probabilities of attaining the ATR+ATRL and ATR+MET concentrations measured in these subjects in adherent, partially adherent, and nonadherent individuals. The best predictive values of the estimates of adherence could be obtained with sampling at early sampling times. 61.54% and 38.46% of subjects in the adherence testing set were estimated to be fully and partially adherent, respectively, while in all cases the probability of nonadherence was extremely low.
