Pivastatin calcium is mainly used to reduce cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein. It is one of the statins that regulate blood lipid. It acts as a rate limiting enzyme in the cholesterol synthesis pathway to reduce the synthesis of cholesterol.
It is often used in the prevention of ischemic cardio cerebrovascular diseases. It can also stabilize atherosclerotic plaque and avoid the occurrence of acute ischemic cardio cerebrovascular events caused by plaque rupture.
