About ACH-PRAVASTATIN

Ach-PRAVASTATIN is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Pravastatin Sodium, a statin used to lower cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia to reduce total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.
• Prevention of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease in patients at high risk.
• Management of elevated homocysteine levels, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Active Ingredient & Action

Pravastatin Sodium, the active ingredient in Ach-PRAVASTATIN, works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a crucial role in cholesterol production in the liver. By reducing cholesterol synthesis, Pravastatin Sodium helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Common side effects may include muscle pain, liver enzyme elevations, and gastrointestinal issues. Patients with liver disease, kidney disease, or muscle disorders should use Ach-PRAVASTATIN with caution and under close medical supervision.
