Pravachol by Ray Sahelian, M.D.
Pravachol, also known as the generic pravastatin, is a statin drug used together with diet, weight-loss and exercise to reduce the amount of cholesterol and other fatty substances in the blood. Pravachol is in a class of medications called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). Pravachol works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body.

Q. I seem to be fine with Passion RX until I
take my cholesterol medicine - Pravachol. Then the side effects set in such as
flush (red) face, hot heart, etc.
I even waited a day after to take the Pravachol, but still same results. Do you
make a cholesterol medicine that would reduce cholesterol, yet, be safe to take
with Passion RX?
A. Sometimes unexpected side effects occur when drugs are combined
with herbal products. you may consider taking a look at
cholesterol page and
discuss with your doctor natural options to Pravachol use. Also, sometimes
reducing the dosage of the Passion Rx could make a difference, perhaps you could
take 2/3 or half of the amount you are now taking, or taking the Passion Rx less
frequently.
