Fluvastatin is an HMG CoA reductase inhibitor. Fluvastatin blocks the production of cholesterol (a type of fat) in the body.

Fluvastatin is used to reduce the amounts of LDL (bad) cholesterol and total cholesterol in your blood. Fluvastatin also reduces the amounts of triglycerides (another type of fat) and apolipoprotein B (a protein needed to make cholesterol) in your blood. These actions are important in reducing the risk of hardening of the arteries, which can lead to heart attacks, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.
