Livalo (pitavastatin) is a statin medication primarily used to lower cholesterol levels. While its primary function is to reduce LDL cholesterol, which can help slow the progression of atherosclerosis, direct evidence of Livalo specifically reducing plaque in arteries is limited. However, by lowering cholesterol, it may contribute to overall cardiovascular health and potentially reduce plaque buildup over time.
