How Pravastatin Works
Pravastatin is a prescription medication that is used in conjunction with diet and exercise to lower cholesterol levels. Pravastatin belongs to the family of medicines known as statins, and these medications work by blocking an enzyme that is needed to make cholesterol in the liver. By this process less cholesterol is produced in the body; therefore, lowering cholesterol levels in the blood. Pravachol and the generic equivalent have been proven to reduce the risks associated with heart disease and heart attacks. Pravastatin may be prescribed for other ailments that may not have been mentioned.
