Pravastatin is a cholesterol-lowering medication that blocks the production of cholesterol
(a type of fat) in the body.
Pravastatin reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol in the
blood. Lowering your cholesterol can help prevent heart disease and hardening of the arteries,
conditions that can lead to heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease.
Aspirin is a pain reliever and fever reducer. It also reduces swelling.
The combination of aspirin and pravastatin is used to treat high cholesterol and lower the
risk of stroke, heart attack, or other heart complications in people with coronary heart disease.
Aspirin and pravastatin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication
guide.
