Description:
Lovastatin (trade name Mevacor) is one of the earliest statin medications developed to treat elevated cholesterol. It works by blocking HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme in the liver that makes cholesterol, leading to lower LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and triglycerides, and a modest increase in HDL (“good” cholesterol). Lovastatin is less potent compared to newer statins like atorvastatin or rosuvastatin, and is typically used in patients with mild to moderate elevations in cholesterol or as an initial therapy when aggressive LDL lowering is not required.
