What is Pravachol Used for?


Pravachol (Pravastatin) is a prescription medicine used along with a proper diet to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. The active substance in the Pravachol tablet is Pravastatin. Pravastatin belongs to the drug class called Lipid-Lowering Agents, Statins (HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors). It works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body to decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body. Lowering "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides and raising "good" cholesterol decreases the risk of heart disease and helps prevent strokes and heart attacks.

What are the Possible Side Effects of Pravachol?


If you experience any of the following common side effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately:
• Chest pain;
• Cough;
• Diarrhea;
• Fatigue;
• Flulike symptoms;
• Headache;
• Heartburn;
• Muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness;
• Nausea and vomiting;
• Rash

Stop using Pravachol and contact your doctor right away if you have any of the severe side effects such as:
• Confusion;

• Headache;
• Interstitial lung diseases;
• Memory loss or forgetfulness;
• Nightmare;
• Severe muscle weakness;
• Signs of kidney problems such as reduction in urine volume;
• Severe stomach pain which can be a sign of inflammation of the pancreas;
• Signs of lung disease such as cough, feeling short of breath, and weight loss
This is not a complete list of the adverse effect of Pravachol. Kindly reach out to your doctor or pharmacist if any of the above-listed side effects last longer than usual or get worse.

Are there any Precautions and Drug Interactions for Pravachol?


Before taking Pravachol, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it or have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. If you also take certain other drugs to lower your cholesterol (bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol), take Pravastatin at least 1 hour before or at least 4 hours after taking these medications. These products can react with Pravastatin, preventing its full absorption. Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. Remember to take it at the same time each day. Keep taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high cholesterol or triglycerides do not feel sick. You should limit your alcoholic beverages while using this medication. Few people taking Pravastatin may have mild memory problems or confusion. If these rare effects occur, talk to your doctor. Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially muscle problems.

You should not take Pravachol and inform your doctor about your medical history, especially if you have or have had:
• Chronic alcohol consumption;
• Kidney disease;
• Liver disease (including hepatitis B infection);
• Muscular side effects when taking a statin in the past;
• Muscle disorder (including fibromyalgia);
• Severe lung disease;
• Underactive thyroid

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It would help if you did not become pregnant while taking the Pravastatin tablet. Talk to your doctor about birth control methods you can use during your treatment. If you become pregnant while taking Pravastatin, stop taking Pravastatin and call your doctor immediately. Pravastatin may harm the fetus. It would be best not to breastfeed while you are taking this medication. Kindly speak with your doctor or pharmacist.

Tell your doctor about all the medications you use, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, herbal products, and vitamin supplements to prevent drug interactions, which might be fatal to your health. This drug interaction may make your drug less effective, cause adverse effects, or potentiate other drugs' action. There may be a drug interaction between Pravachol and other drugs such as:
• Antifungals such as fluconazole (Diflucan) and ketoconazole (Nizoral);
• Digoxin;
• Gemfibrozil;
• Red yeast rice;
• Verapamil;
• Warfarin
