  • Description


Why is Mevacor prescribed?

Lovastatin (Mevacor) is prescribed alone or in combination with other medications and a proper, healthy diet to reduce elevated cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood caused by a poor eating lifestyle.

What does it do?

Lovastatin, classified as a Hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA), is an anti-lipid agent that primarily works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA to be converted to Mevalonate which is responsible for the synthesis of cholesterol; thus, reducing the formation of unnecessary fats in the blood.

How should I take it?

Mevacor is available as a 40mg tablet that is intended for oral administration as a whole, not to be crushed or chewed, and should be taken once daily with food as directed by the doctor.

The dosage strength depends on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is strictly advised that you do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

Taking the dose properly at the scheduled time is needed to attain the desired effect of the drug. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and catch the next dose at the regular time. Do not take two doses just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Mevacor?

Before taking Lovastatin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any allergies to food or to the drug itself as it may contain several inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or problems.

Inform your doctor about your past and current medical history, especially if you have or have had kidney disease, liver disease, congestive heart failure, electrolyte imbalance and elevation of creatinine phosphokinase.

Avoid drinking alcohol as this may cause dizziness and drowsiness and can add to the effects of Lovastatin.

Consult your doctor regarding all the other medications you use before getting a surgery.

Note: The use of Lovastatin may cause an elevation of creatinine phosphokinase and other transaminase levels. Frequent laboratory test is recommended.

What action should I take in case of overdose?

If you suspect an overdose, immediately call an ambulance and seek immediate medical attention to prevent further complications.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

There are only limited studies and data regarding the safety of Lovastatin to determine drug-associated risks of major maternal defects, miscarriages and fetal outcomes. However, as per US FDA, Lovastatin is categorized as pregnancy category X which states that the risks outweigh its potential benefit, and it is not highly recommended for childbearing women.

Canadian Prescription Drug Store dispenses medications from our fully licensed and independently verified pharmacy partners around the world from Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, India, Turkey, and Singapore.

Legal disclaimer: The FDA, due to the current state of their regulations, has taken the position that virtually all shipments of prescription drugs imported from a Canadian online pharmacy by a U.S. consumer will violate the law. However, many legal experts disagree with the FDA's position in this regard stating that such importation is permitted under certain federal and state laws. Several State governments and consumer rights groups actively promote the importation of medications. The FDA itself provides the public information on how to import medications safely. Furthermore, there is no record of any US individual being prosecuted by the FDA for importing non-controlled prescription drugs for their personal use.
