Mevacor (
lovastatin) is an
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor or "statin." It lowers levels of
cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
Statins may also reduce the risk of
heart attack,
stroke, or other health problems in patients with risk factors for
heart disease. Mevacor is also available as generic lovastatin, and in combination with
niacin in
Advicor. Extended-release lovastatin is known as
Altoprev, and is brand-name only.
