Pravarstatin

[45sue]

After a bad experience with Artavostatin which caused seriously deranged liver, am about to start on 10mg of Pravarstatin to see if I can tolerate it. Will be monitored via blood tests. How has anyone else found this one?

I was told by a consultant it is a good one. Never been given it. Good luck. 10mg shouldn't cause side effects

Hi...I am on 20 mg and have had no problems. Cannot compare to any others as not had any others 😊 X

Husband can’t tolerate statins and was put on Ezetimbe

Atorvastatin 80 mg caused serious liver damage with me, when the liver recovered, I was put on 10mg, still caused liver damage, I don't take a statin anymore, but I do have have more HDLs than LDLs, in other words more of the good than the bad.

Thank you for reply. Like you, I still had liver damage when atorvastatin was was reduced (from 80 mg to 20 mg). Will wait & see if I can tolerate statins at all.

My liver recovered before I was put on 10mg but got damaged again, not as badly the second time round. Good luck with the next try, hope all goes well.

Yes I moved onto it a couple of years ago as sim a statin was causing legs panes. No side effects now

Morning,

I am on pravastatin 10mg, started in approx 3 months ago and have had no side effects and blood tests fine so far. My lipid consultant recommended this as it is safe with the warfarin I require. (After starting the statin I had to do an INR test every week for one month, there was a variation up and down but within my target range).
