PRAVACHOL Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is PRAVACHOL?
PRAVACHOL is the brand name for pravastatin and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is PRAVACHOL available in?
PRAVACHOL is available as a 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg oral tablet.
What is PRAVACHOL used for?
PRAVACHOL is a statin that is used to:
- Lower the risk of heart or blood vessel problems (e.g., heart attack, stroke) in adults at risk for heart problems
- Lower “bad” cholesterol and triglyceride levels in certain adults
- Lower “bad” cholesterol levels in children age 8 years and older with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH)
How does PRAVACHOL work?
PRAVACHOL is a statin. It works by blocking a protein in your liver that makes cholesterol. This lowers the amount of “bad” cholesterol (called low-density lipoprotein, or LDL) in your blood. PRAVACHOL might also help raise your “good” cholesterol (called high-density lipoprotein, or HDL) levels and lower your triglyceride levels. As a result, PRAVACHOL helps lower the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke.
How do I take PRAVACHOL?
PRAVACHOL is typically taken at dose ranges from 10 mg to 80 mg by mouth once per day. Your provider will change your dose depending on different factors, such as your cholesterol levels, kidney function, side effects that you’re having, or other medications you might be taking.
