Can pravastatin be used on a short term basis or do I need to take for the rest of my life?

Question

I have borderline high cholesterol 
(NON-HDL Cholesterol Calculated: 147
and LDL Cholesterol Direct: 127) 
I've been prescribed 20MG pravastatin once daily and not sure if I need to take this for the rest of my life.

Answer

It's considered borderline when it's between 200 and 239 mg/dL.

If you are 147 you are no where near borderline.

Answer

That is a prescription med so you need a doctor's advice to take it or stop taking it. You can search it at google.com to find all recorded knowledge.
