How does this medicine work?

Lovastatin is converted to an active form that blocks an enzyme needed to make cholesterol. This lowers harmful cholesterol in the blood when combined with the plan prescribed by your doctor.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way lovastatin works or increase the risk of muscle injury. Tell your doctor about all medicines, vitamins, and supplements you use. In particular, mention strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, gemfibrozil, cyclosporine, danazol, or other cholesterol-lowering medicines.

Interactions with food items

Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice unless your doctor says they are safe with your treatment, because they may increase lovastatin exposure.
