Generic lovastatin?

Yes. Lovastatin is available as a generic medication. Brand-name Mevacor was the original, but now generic lovastatin tablets are widely sold by multiple manufacturers.

A few quick notes:
- Common generic strengths: 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg; some markets also offer 60 mg or 80 mg.
- Uses: lowers LDL cholesterol and helps reduce cardiovascular risk when used with diet and other therapies as prescribed.
- Safety and side effects: possible muscle pain or weakness, elevated liver enzymes; rare but serious myopathy or rhabdomyolysis (especially at higher doses or with interacting drugs). Pregnancy is contraindicated.
- Important drug interactions: avoid or limit grapefruit juice. Be careful with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., certain antifungals like itraconazole/ketoconazole, some antibiotics like clarithromycin/erythromycin, protease inhibitors), cyclosporine, and some fibrates (e.g., gemfibrozil) due to higher myopathy risk.
- Monitoring: baseline and periodic liver function tests, lipid panel, and watch for signs of muscle pain or weakness.
