No, you cannot. When you buy pravastatin, you will be told exactly how to take it. Always read the label on the package before you take pravastatin. Pravastatin is supposed to be taken once a day with or without food. The dose of pravastatin is based on your cholesterol levels and response. Do not take grapefruit juice at the same time as pravastatin as this may lead to fluctuations in the level of the medication. If you are taking other heart medications, than space the dosing by at least 60 minutes. All individuals who take pravastatin should get regular blood work to ensure that the medication is working and that both the liver and kidney are functioning well. It is important not to change the dose of medication without talking to your doctor.
