Pravastatin contains the active ingredient pravastatin sodium, a type of medicine known as an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, or statin. It works by reducing the production of cholesterol in your liver. Cholesterol is a naturally occurring substance your body needs for normal function, but too much of it can lead to serious health issues. When cholesterol builds up on the walls of your arteries, it can narrow them, restrict blood flow, and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Patients who take Pravastatin as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle (along with diet, exercise, and other medical advice) often experience improved overall cardiovascular health and a reduced need for hospital treatments related to blocked arteries. On our website, you can find Pravastatin tablets in several strengths of 10mg, 20mg and 40mg to suit individual treatment plans prescribed by your doctor. All strengths are available in packs of 30 or 100 tablets.
