Pravachol (generic name - Pravastatin sodium) is a cholesterol-lowering product. Your doctor may prescribe it along with a cholesterol-lowering diet if your blood cholesterol level has become dangerously high and you have not been successful in lowering it by diet alone. High cholesterol can lead to heart problems. For people at high risk of heart disease, current guidelines call for considering drug therapy when LDL levels reach 130. For people at lower risk, the cut-off is 160. For those at little or no risk, it's 190. By lowering your cholesterol, Pravachol improves your chances of avoiding a heart attack, heart surgery, and death from heart disease. In people who already have hardening of the arteries, it slows progression of the disease and decreases the risk of acute attacks. This medication works by helping to clear harmful low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol out of the blood and by limiting the body's ability to form new LDL cholesterol.
