Pravastatin and Warfarin: Can You Take Them Together?

Here's what FDA-approved drug labeling shows.

MODERATE

Interaction Found

Pravastatin can increase how much warfarin stays in your body, making your blood thinner than intended. This raises your risk of dangerous bleeding.

What to do: Tell your doctor you take both medicines. Your doctor may check your blood clotting levels more often and adjust your warfarin dose if needed. Don't stop either medicine on your own.
