What does pravastin do for choestrol?

Pravastatin is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called statins, which are used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver responsible for cholesterol production, leading to reduced levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. Additionally, pravastatin can help raise levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, or "good" cholesterol, and may also have beneficial effects on triglyceride levels. Overall, it helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by managing cholesterol levels.
