On this episode, I breakdown pravastatin pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interactions and when you might see this drug used in practice. Pravastatin is a statin and will lower LDL. Its use is a little limited in the fact that it is not as potent as other agents in its LDL lowering effects. Pravastatin is hydrophilic which differentiates it from simvastatin, atorvastatin, and lovastatin. I describe rhabdomyolysis in this podcast as it is a potential rare adverse effect of pravastatin.
