Brief Answer:
yes you can take them together

Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic
I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.

PRAVACHOL is one of a class of lipid-lowering compounds, the statins, which reduce cholesterol biosynthesis.
It has not been proved yet to show any drug interactions with tab metabo 379, however Garcinia induces liver enzymes CyP450 so it will reduce the effects of any other drug you might be taking. So I will suggest you to take them but only after discussing this with your doctor.

I hope my answer was helpful for you . Dont forget to close the discussion.Thank you.
