Pravafen 40/160mg Capsule 30s (Bottle)

Pravafen 40/160mg Capsule is a lipid-modifying medication that combines two active ingredients: pravastatin sodium, a statin, and fenofibrate, a fibrate. It is used to manage abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels, particularly in patients whose LDL cholesterol is controlled with pravastatin but who continue to have high triglycerides or low HDL cholesterol. If you're starting this medication, you're probably wondering how it fits into your cholesterol management plan — it is usually prescribed as an additional treatment option rather than a first-choice therapy. The capsule is taken once daily with the evening meal and should be used alongside a cholesterol-lowering diet and healthy lifestyle habits. Some people may experience muscle pain, headache, or digestive discomfort. Since the combination of a statin and fibrate can increase the risk of muscle-related side effects, report any unexplained muscle pain, weakness, or dark urine to your doctor promptly.

The recommended dose is one capsule (40mg pravastatin and 160mg fenofibrate) once daily, taken during the evening meal. Your doctor will determine whether this medication is suitable based on your cholesterol levels, kidney function, liver health, and overall medical history.

This medication is not recommended for patients with moderate to severe kidney impairment, and additional monitoring may be required in older adults, especially those above 75 years of age.

Pravafen 40/160mg Capsule generally has a shelf life of around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the blister strip and outer packaging before use.

• Pravastatin Sodium 40mg – an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) that reduces LDL cholesterol production in the liver.
• Fenofibrate 160mg – a fibric acid derivative that helps reduce triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol levels.

• Active liver disease or unexplained persistent elevation of liver enzymes
• Moderate to severe kidney impairment

Pravafen combines a statin and fibrate, which may increase the risk of muscle-related side effects when compared with using either medication alone. Inform your doctor about all medicines and supplements you take, especially ciclosporin, other cholesterol-lowering medications, or medicines that may affect muscle health.

Limit alcohol consumption while taking this medication, as alcohol may increase strain on the liver. Large amounts of grapefruit juice should also be avoided unless advised by your doctor.
