Lovastatin is prescribed to lower LDL cholesterol. Also known as the “bad” cholesterol, LDL cholesterol in high levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular complications like stroke and heart attack. Lovastatin is used to reduce these risks in people with diabetes, coronary heart disease, or other risk factors.
Lovastatin belongs to a class of drugs called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, also known as statins. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made in the liver, which helps reduce cholesterol in the bloodstream.
Tell your doctor if you have active liver disease, diabetes, a thyroid disorder, or alcohol use disorder before taking this drug. You should not take Lovastatin if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Tell your doctor about other medical conditions you may have and other medications you may be taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, before taking Lovastatin.
While taking Lovastatin you should avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Grapefruit may increase the levels of statins in your bloodstream.
