Pravachol

Pravachol is a prescription medication containing pravastatin, which belongs to a class of drugs called statins. It helps lower levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in your blood while slightly increasing "good" cholesterol (HDL). By doing so, it reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. Pravachol works by blocking a substance in the liver responsible for producing cholesterol. It’s typically used alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle changes to manage high cholesterol effectively. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when taking Pravachol.
