When evaluating cholesterol-lowering medications, it’s essential to compare their efficacy, side effect profiles, and administration routes. Below is a comparison of pravastatin with other commonly prescribed statins:
| Medication | LDL Reduction Potential | Side Effect Risk | Cost (Generic) | Administration |
| Pravastatin | Moderate (30–40%) | Lower muscle toxicity risk | ~$14 for 45 tablets (40 mg) | Oral, once daily |
| Atorvastatin | High (up to 50–60%) | Moderate (muscle pain, liver enzyme elevations) | ~$15 for 30 tablets (10 mg) | Oral, once daily |
| Rosuvastatin | Very high (up to 55–63%) | Moderate (increased risk in Asian populations) | ~$11 for 15 tablets (40 mg) | Oral, once daily |
| Simvastatin | Moderate (30–50%) | Higher risk of muscle-related side effects | ~$4 for 30 tablets (20 mg) | Oral, preferably in the evening |
| Lovastatin | Moderate (20–40%) | Moderate (muscle pain, liver enzyme elevations) | ~$10 for 30 tablets (20 mg) | Oral, with evening meal |
| Fluvastatin | Lower (20–35%) | Lower risk of drug interactions | ~$15 for 30 tablets (40 mg) | Oral, once daily |
Pravastatin is often preferred for patients needing a gentler statin with fewer drug interaction risks. Others may be more effective for patients requiring significant LDL reduction.
