pravastatin
Pravastatin (marketed as Pravachol or Selektine) is a member of the drug class of statins, used in combination with diet, exercise, and weight loss for lowering cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular disease.
==Medical uses==
Pravastatin is primarily used for the treatment of dyslipidemia and the prevention of cardiovascular disease.〔 It is recommended to be used only after other measures, such as diet, exercise, and weight reduction, have not improved cholesterol levels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.drugs.com/monograph/pravachol.html )〕
The evidence for the use of pravastatin is generally weaker than for other statins. The antihypertensive and lipid-lowering treatment to prevent heart attack trial (ALLHAT), failed to demonstrate a difference in all-cause mortality or nonfatal myocardial infarction/fatal coronary heart disease rates between patients receiving pravastatin 40 mg daily (a common starting dose) and those receiving usual care.
