Not pravastain, it is called pravastatin.

They are different drugs but both are statin drugs. Atorvastatin (generic form of Lipitor) is considered more powerful than pravastatin (generic for Pravachol) but Atorvastatin also has more side effects and is may more likely be harmful to liver and kidneys..
