Pravachol (Pravastatin sodium) is a prescription medication used for treating or preventing a number of conditions related to heart disease. Such uses include but are not limited to:

*Treatment of high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia).

*Treatment of high triglycerides in the blood. Triglycerides are the main storage form of fat in the body.

*Prevention of heart disease and heart-related problems.

It has also been approved for use in children ages 8 to 18 years old with a certain genetic condition that causes high cholesterol.

Pravachol is part of a class of drugs called statins. It works by blocking a particular enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) that controls the rate of cholesterol production in the body. This causes the liver to make less cholesterol. It also:

*Increases the liver's ability to collect and get rid of LDL cholesterol ("bad cholesterol")

*Increases HDL cholesterol ("good cholesterol")

*Decreases triglycerides.

In previous research studies, people taking Pravachol 20 mg were able to, on average, decrease LDL cholesterol by 32 percent, total cholesterol by 24 percent, and triglycerides by 11 percent. HDL increased by 2 percent. The effects on cholesterol and triglyceride levels were generally greater with higher doses of the medication.

When and How to Take Pravachol.
Some general considerations for when and how to take the medication include the following:

*Pravachol is available in tablet form and is taken by mouth once daily. Unlike some other statin medications, it can be taken at any time during the day.

*To maintain even levels of Pravachol in your body, make sure to take it at the same time each day.

*This medication can be taken with or without food. If it seems to bother your stomach, try taking your dosage with a little food.

*For Pravachol to work properly, you have to take it as prescribed. It will not work if you stop taking it.

There are no dietary restrictions with Pravachol. As with any cholesterol medication, you should continue to eat a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet as part of your treatment program to lower cholesterol.

Daily Horoscope for December 10

Capricorn

Someone is in a finger-wagging mood and unfortunately they seem to be concentrating on you! Maybe they think you've fallen from grace for some reason, or perhaps you're simply the only person who happens to be around when they feel like letting off steam. Do your best not to fall into an equally critical and disgruntled mood, because it will soon make you feel wretched.
