- The prevention of cardiovascular problems (myocardial infarction) and cardiovascular death in patients with elevated cholesterol levels and a high risk of suffering a first cardiovascular event (Primary Prevention)

- The prevention of cardiovascular problems and cardiovascular death in patients with normal or high cholesterol levels who have already had some cardiovascular event, such as myocardial infarction or angina pectoris (Secondary Prevention)

-The reduction of lipid levels in the bloodin patients undergoing organ transplantation and receiving immunosuppressive treatment

2. Before taking PRAVASTATINA VIR

• If you have any active liver disease or have elevated liver enzymes.

• If you are pregnant or there is a possibility that you may be pregnant.

Warnings and precautions

Consult with your doctor or pharmacist before taking PRAVASTATINA VIR if you:

  • Have severe respiratory failure
  • Are taking or have taken within the last 7 days a medication that contains fusidic acid (used to treat bacterial infections) by mouth or injection. The combination of fusidic acid and pravastatina may cause severe muscle problems (rhabdomyolysis).
  • Have or have had myasthenia (a disease that causes generalized muscle weakness that, in some cases, affects the muscles used for breathing) or ocular myasthenia (a disease that causes weakness of the eye muscles), as statins may sometimes worsen the disease or cause myasthenia (see section 4).

While you are taking this medication, your doctor will monitor if you have diabetes or are at risk of developing diabetes. This risk of diabetes increases if you have high blood sugar and fat levels, obesity, and high blood pressure.

Also inform your doctor or pharmacist if you experience persistent muscle weakness. Additional tests and medications may be necessary to diagnose and treat this problem.

Be especially careful with PRAVASTATINA VIR:

- If you have had any liver disease or have a history of alcoholism.

It is possible that moderate increases in liver enzymes will occur, which in most cases will return to normal without the need to discontinue treatment.

- You should also inform your doctor if you have kidney failure, hypothyroidism, a family history or have previously had muscle disorders, or if you consume alcohol regularly.

- During treatment, some patients may experience muscle pain, sensitivity, weakness, or muscle cramps. If you experience any of these symptoms, inform your doctor immediately.

Your doctor may recommend blood tests to determine the state of your muscles before starting treatment and during treatment, to consider starting, continuing, or discontinuing treatment.

Inform your doctor if you are taking other medications that can also cause muscle disorders, such as:

• Fibrates (lower cholesterol levels).

• Nicotinic acid (lowers cholesterol levels).

Consult your doctor, even if any of the above circumstances have occurred at any time.

Taking PRAVASTATINA VIR with food and drinks:

PRAVASTATINA VIR can be taken with or without food.

Use of other medications:

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medication, including those purchased without a prescription.

It is essential to inform your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any of the following medications:

- Other medications used to lower cholesterol levels, such as cholestyramine or cholestipol (may decrease pravastatina levels in the blood) and fibrates (may increase the risk of muscle adverse reactions).

- Cyclosporine, a medication used to prevent transplant rejection (administered with pravastatina, cyclosporine increases pravastatina levels in the blood).

- Antibiotics such as erythromycin or clarithromycin (may increase pravastatina levels in the blood).

If you need to take fusidic acid orally to treat a bacterial infection, you will need to stop taking this medication. Your doctor will indicate when you can restart pravastatina treatment. The use of pravastatina with fusidic acid may cause muscle weakness, sensitivity, or pain (rhabdomyolysis). For more information on rhabdomyolysis, see section 4.
