Первичная гиперхолестеринемия (за исключением семейной гомозиготной) преимущественно IIa и IIb типов (при неэффективности диетотерапии у пациентов в повышенным риском возникновения коронарного атеросклероза), гиперхолестеринемия в сочетании с гипертриглицеридемией; профилактика ИБС (снижение риска инфаркта миокарда, необходимости операций по реваскуляризации миокарда, смертности от заболеваний ССС).

PRAVASTATIN SODIUM

Pravastatin is indicated as a component of multiple risk factor intervention in those individuals at increased risk for atherosclerotic vascular disease due to hypercholesterolemia . Pravastatin should be used in addition to a diet restricted in saturated fat and cholesterol when the response to diet and other nonpharmacological measures alone has been inadequate. *Primary prevention of coronary events: In hypercholesterolemic patients whthout clinically evident coronary heart disease pravastatin is indicated to: - Reduce the risk of myocardial infarcton. - Reduce the risk for revascularization. - Reduce the risk of deaths due to cardiovascular causes with no increase in deaths from non-cardiovascular causes. *Secondary prevention of cardiovascular events: Atherosclerosis: in hypercholesterolemic patients with clinically evident coronary artery disease including prior MI Pravastatin is indicated to: - Slow the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. - Reduce the risk of acute coronary events. Myocardial infarction: in patients with previous myocardial infarction and normal cholesterol levels Pravastatin is indicated to: - Reduce the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction. - Reduce the risk of undergoing myocardial revascularization procedures. - Reduce the risk of stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA). *Hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia: Pravastatin is indicated as an adjunct to diet to reduce elevated Total-C LDL-C and TG levels in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia (Fredrickson type IIa and IIb).
