Pivasta 4 mg tablet belongs to a class of drugs best known as statins. Pitavastatin is the active ingredient present in Pivasta. This drug is mainly used to lower cholesterol and the risk of heart disease in the body. Cholesterol is a substance that builds up in blood vessels and causes narrowing.
Pitavastatin is given to administer the level of cholesterol in the body, reducing the production of fatty substances. Pivasta blocks HMG-CoA-reductase (an enzyme) that makes cholesterol. The medicine effectively lowers LDL (“bad” cholesterol and triglycerides) while improving HDL (“good” cholesterol). High cholesterol increases the chances of heart disease.
