In addition it is best to take this medicine in the evening after eating or before going to bed. At night, the production of cholesterol by the liver is highest. This way you will benefit the most from the effect of this drug.
When to use it?
Pravastatin is part of a group of drugs called Statins. They inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which normally plays an essential role in the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver. This lowers the circulating LDL, the total cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol.
Therefore Atorvastatin can be used to treat a high cholesterol, familial hypercholesterolemia and it can be used to prevent cardiovascular disease.

The precise dose will depend on your specific indication of use, the side effect you might experience and the severity of your symptoms. Therefore always use the precise amount and frequency your doctor prescribed you.
- However, when treating adults most doctors will start with an initial dose of 10–40 mg 1×/day, if necessary your doctor might increase your dose every 4 weeks up to a maximum dose of 40 mg 1x/day.
What are the side-effects?
- Uncommon: Fatigue, Hair disorder, Skin rash, Itching, Tendon rupture, Vomiting, Abdominal pain, Diarrhoea, Nausea, Constipation, Difficulty urinating, Diplopia, Blurred vision, Sleep disorder, Sexual dysfunction, Dizziness and Headache.
- Rare: Photosensitivity.
- Very rare: Angioedema, Anaphylaxis, Hypersensitivity Reaction, Jaundice, Hepatitis and several other serious side effects.
Safety:
- The first days of using Pravastatin it can lead to dizziness. Please do not drive while experiencing this.
- Furthermore, it rarely can cause liver abnormalities which can be increased with consumption of too much alcohol. Therefore it is often advised to not drink or at most 1 glass a day while using pravastatin.
