Pravastatin Pharmacology
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.
