Are you talking about PRAVACHOL® (pravastatin sodium) the cholesterol drug? It's hard to know what you're really wanting to know w/ the way you worded your question.

Simple. Niacin.Pravastatin is part of the statin drugs formulated to lower your cholesterol but needs a prescription. However, over the counter niacin simply works too. Niacin, a B vitamin, has long been used to increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the "good" cholesterol. HDL cholesterol helps sweep up low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, in your bloodstream. Although niacin is readily available and effective, it hasn't gotten much attention compared to other cholesterol drugs. A lot of the attention regarding cholesterol has been focused on lowering your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol. That's still an important goal. But boosting your HDL level can be just as important as lowering your LDL cholesterol. Taking niacin — either by itself or along with other cholesterol-lowering medication — may help control your total cholesterol level
