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

  1. Hypercholesterolemia: Lescol is used to lower elevated total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides levels in adults with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia.
  2. Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: It is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with coronary heart disease.

Lescol belongs to a class of drugs known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, or statins, which work by inhibiting the enzyme that controls the rate of cholesterol production in the body.

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.

The typical dosing for fluvastatin is between 20 mg and 80 mg per day, depending on several factors including the patient’s age, medical condition, and response to treatment. The starting dose for fluvastatin is typically 40 mg once per day with dinner or 40 mg twice per day.
