Lescol XL (active ingredient: fluvastatin) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hyperlipidemia: Lescol XL is used to reduce elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, helping to manage hyperlipidemia and lower the risk of cardiovascular events.
  2. Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease: It is indicated for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease in patients with a history of coronary artery disease or those at high risk of cardiovascular events.

Lescol XL belongs to a class of drugs known as statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors), which work by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for cholesterol production in the liver, thereby lowering levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and overall cholesterol in the blood.

Lescol XL (Fluvastatin XL) is available in the form of tablets that should be taken once daily by mouth, with or without food, as directed by your doctor. Swallow the tablets whole, without crushing or chewing them, to avoid releasing the full drug at once which can increase the risk of side effects.

Dosage may vary depending on your medical condition, response to treatment, age, and other medications you may be taking. Inform your healthcare provider about all the products you use, including prescription and non-prescription drugs, and herbal products.

If you are taking other drugs to lower your cholesterol, such as bile acid-binding resins like cholestyramine or colestipol, take fluvastatin at least 1 hour before or 4 hours after taking these medications to avoid interaction with fluvastatin that may prevent its full absorption.

To get the most benefit from Lescol XL, it is recommended to take it regularly at the same time each day, even if you feel well. It may take up to 4 weeks before achieving the full benefit of this drug. Continue following your doctor’s advice about diet and exercise, as Lescol XL is most effective in combination with a healthy lifestyle.
