What Is Lescol?
Lescol (fluvastatin) is a prescription medication used to manage high cholesterol and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with coronary heart disease. It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme the liver uses to produce cholesterol, thereby lowering LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides while modestly raising HDL ("good") cholesterol. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, fluvastatin can meaningfully reduce your cardiovascular risk and help you maintain healthier lipid levels long term.

Is Online Lescol Treatment Right for You?
Lescol (fluvastatin) may be appropriate for adults diagnosed with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia who have not reached their LDL goals through diet and lifestyle changes alone. It is also indicated to slow the progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with coronary heart disease.
Because statins affect liver enzyme levels and can rarely cause muscle problems, a physician will review your cholesterol history, current medications, and any history of liver disease or muscle disorders before prescribing Lescol.

Frequently asked questions
Lescol is a statin medication containing fluvastatin sodium. It works by blocking HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme in the liver responsible for producing cholesterol. This reduces the amount of LDL cholesterol circulating in your blood and lowers your overall cardiovascular risk.
Lescol is indicated for adults with primary hypercholesterolemia (elevated LDL) and mixed dyslipidemia (elevated LDL plus high triglycerides or low HDL). It is also used in patients with coronary heart disease to slow the progression of atherosclerosis.
Most people see measurable reductions in LDL cholesterol within 4 weeks of starting Lescol. Maximum effect is typically reached within 4 to 6 weeks. Your physician may order follow-up lipid panel testing to assess your response and adjust your dose if needed.
The most common side effects of fluvastatin include headache, upset stomach, and muscle aches. Rarely, statins can cause myopathy (muscle breakdown) or elevations in liver enzymes. Tell your doctor right away if you experience unexplained muscle pain, weakness, or dark-colored urine.
Fluvastatin interacts with several medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and other cholesterol-lowering drugs. Your prescribing physician will review your full medication list before prescribing Lescol to ensure it is safe for you.
Yes. Lescol XL is an 80 mg extended-release tablet taken once daily, while the immediate-release capsule is available in 20 mg and 40 mg doses and may be taken once or twice daily. The appropriate formulation and dose will be determined by your physician based on your cholesterol levels and treatment goals.
