say's TEVA on one side, but I can't make out any numbers on the other side. Any idea what it might be? ## WIthout knowing the numbers, it is going to be difficult to determine what this tablet contains, there are several manufactured by Teva that use their logo and meet this description. Just doing a quick, random search popped up 5 different possibilities. Just as an example, there is one round, peach colored tablet that says TEVA on one side and has the numbers 771 on the other, which contains 10mgs of Pravastatin, which is used to help lower cholesterol. Have you tried having someone else look at the pill to see if they can make out the numbers? ## Small round peach scored,Teva on front,looks like four numbers on back. ## The pill is peach colored with the TEVA on one side an...

I haven't had my daily dose of pravastatin for three days. I get my prescription tomorrow. Will I be ok? ## Hello, Kelly! How are you? Why did you miss so many doses? There shouldn't be any severe problems, but it would be best to inform your doctor, so they are aware of the issue. Sometimes, suddenly stop such a medication can cause a rebound effect that elevates your cholesterol. The FDA classifies this medication as a statin and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches. Are there any other questions or concerns?

what color is pravastatin NA 40mg. is it white or green in color. ## From what I could gather, Pravastatin NA 40mg comes in both green and white colors, depending on who the manufacturer is. The 40mg tab also comes in the form of a yellow capsule-shaped pill. Do you have a specific imprint on your pill that might help distinguish it from the other options? ## Yes my pravastatin medicine is a yellow oval pill that says p40

So I understand that moderate drinking - ~two drinks for a man - is ok with pravastatin. That usually works for me - but not always - sometimes I drink more. So my question is, if I have had more than a couple of drinks should I skip the pravastatin for that evening? My cholesterol without statins is borderline, with the prav it is ~150. No history of cardio problems. No liver problems. ## Hell, bmoreJ! How are you? It doesn't make it dangerous to take this medication, but it can intensify the side effects. Thus, you may get more drowsy, dizzy and nauseous than usual. Basically it could make one drink affect you as if you'd have 2 and so on. You need to be careful and make sure that you're not driving or anything. And you should not imbibe, unless your doctor has said that i...

Take 40mg at night, take losartan 100/25 morning. after morning BM[normal] half hour later stomach cramps and severe diarrhea lots of water. could pravastatin cause this? causing liver to dump bile? taking a water pill and adding this effect causes me to be concerned as to dehydration with 80-90 degree temps here in the South? ## Hello, Rick! How are you? Yes, it can cause those types of issues in some people that take it. These statin medications are very problematic and many people have experienced such severe joint and muscle aches that they had to stop taking them. In these high temps, it might be best to speak to your doctor about adjusting something or perhaps dropping the diuretic for now. Are there any other questions or concerns?

What do you think is thiis possible. ## There's a very good chance that it's due to the Losartan and Bisoprolol. Learn more Losartan details here. Learn more Bisoprolol details here.

How to be taken? Just to swallow or to place under upper lip on gum? ## The square green pill in description is Pravastatin sodium (40 mg); used for lowering cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular disease. The dosing and administration guidelines list the following instructions: "Pravastatin comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with or without food. Take pravastatin at around the same time every day." Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a692025.html It sounds like you can simply swallow it with some water; otherwise it should mention more detailed instructions than that. I hope this helps!

I am experiencing peeling skin and blistering on the inside of my mouth near my lips. Almost like when you eat something to hot and it burns the skin on the inside of your mouth and cheeks. ## Since starting this medication? That's unusual, but could be the symptom of a dangerous allergic reaction. Learn more Pravastatin details here. Have you contacted your doctor? This really doesn't sound like it's the right medication for you to take.
