- Pravastatin [r]: Type I Statin used to treat hypercholesterolemia. [e]
- Simvastatin [r]: A semisynthetic lipid-lowering drug derived from a compound produced by a mold of the genus Aspergillus and administered orally to lower a high cholesterol level in the blood by inhibiting the action of an enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of cholesterol. [e]
Type II statins
- Fluvastatin [r]: Fluorophenyl-based statin, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, for reduction of cholesterol, triglycerides and apo B. [e]
- Cerivastatin [r]: A type II statin formerly used to treat high cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia). [e]
