Терапевтические показания :

Therapy with lipid-altering agents should be only one component of multiple risk factor intervention in individuals at significantly increased risk for atherosclerotic vascular disease due to hypercholesterolemia. Drug therapy is indicated as an adjunct to diet when the response to a diet restricted in saturated fat and cholesterol and other nonpharmacologic measures alone has been inadequate. In hypercholesterolemic patients without clinically evident coronary heart disease (CHD), pravastatin sodium tablets are indicated to: - reduce the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). - reduce the risk of undergoing myocardial revascularization procedures. - reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality with no increase in death from non-cardiovascular causes. In patients with clinically evident CHD, pravastatin sodium tablets are indicated to: - reduce the risk of total mortality by reducing coronary death. - reduce the risk of MI. - reduce the risk of undergoing myocardial revascularization procedures. - reduce the risk
