Mevacor®, or lovastatin, is a cholesterol lowering drug. It stops the liver from producing cholesterol. It lowers overall cholesterol, including LDL (the bad kind of cholesterol). LDL is usually treated with diet and exercise, but if that does not work, a doctor may prescribe Mevacor®, or the generic form lovastatin. If you think you suffer from high cholesterol, and are concerned about your health, then talk to a doctor to see if Mevacor® or lovastatin is right for you.
