Control Cholesterol With Pravastatin

Pravastatin is a statin and works by decreasing “bad cholesterol, Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), as well as blood lipids. Statins belong to the drug class HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Statins slow the body’s production of cholesterol, which can prevent atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis, also called blocked or hardened arteries, develop when fat and cholesterol build up on arterial walls and stop or slow blood flow to the heart and other parts of the body. The statins Pravastatin (Pravachol) and rosuvastatin (Crestor) are similar but their interaction with other medications and foods vary.
