Mevacor

Mevacor (lovastatin) is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It works by blocking an enzyme in the liver that's involved in producing cholesterol, helping to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL). This reduction can decrease the risk of developing heart disease or having a heart attack. Mevacor is typically prescribed along with other lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. It’s important to take it as directed and have regular check-ups to monitor cholesterol levels and ensure safety.
