Lescol is available in capsule form and should be taken orally as prescribed by your doctor. Typically, it is taken once daily in the evening, but some patients may be instructed to take it twice daily. Do not open the capsules and take the medication with or without food, depending on your doctor’s instructions.
Inform your doctor and pharmacist of all products you use, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products. If you are also taking bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol to lower your cholesterol, take Lescol at least one hour before or four hours after taking these medications to prevent any reactions that may prevent Lescol from being fully absorbed.
