It is not a cure. Generic lovastatin tablets are not yet available. Take lovastatin tablets by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Swallow the tablets with a drink of water.
Lovastatin works best if taken with food.
If you take the tablets once a day, take them with the evening meal. Take your doses at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose.
