What is Lescol Xl?

Lescol Xl (fluvastatin) is an extended-release prescription drug that reduces the levels of LDL cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or “bad” cholesterol) and triglycerides (fats) in the bloodstream. Excess “bad” cholesterol (LDL) creates plaques in blood vessels. These plaques can detach from blood vessel walls and cause blood clots, stroke, and heart attack. Excess triglycerides may contribute to plaque formation and, if they get too high, cause painful swelling of the pancreas.

Fluvastatin, as the name implies, belongs to a widely-prescribed family of cholesterol-reducing drugs called statins. These are often the first type of drug prescribed to patients with high cholesterol. Statins work by blocking proteins that are critical for making LDL cholesterol in the liver. Statins may also help reduce cholesterol plaques that have already formed in blood vessels. Statins, like Lescol Xl, are increasingly used to lower the risk of heart attack even in patients with low cholesterol because they reduce and stabilize plaques that have already formed in the blood vessels, making them less likely to come loose and cause blockage of a blood vessel.

Lescol Xl is taken as a tablet once per day.

What are the side effects of Lescol Xl?

The most serious side effects of Lescol Xl are liver damage and increased blood sugar (Type 2 diabetes) in patients who have already been diagnosed with prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes. It is not uncommon for a prescribing physician to perform blood tests before and after starting Lescol Xl.

The most common mental or mood changes that result from taking Lescol Xl are memory loss and confusion, which can range from mild mental fuzziness to severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. These side effects improve when the medication is stopped. Consult with your prescribing physician if you experience confusion and memory loss while taking Lescol Xl.

The most common physical side effect is muscle pain and cramping, which can range from mild weakness or soreness to severe pain. Muscle pain is experienced in one out of ten patients who take statins. Consult with your physician if you experience serious muscle pain. Other physical side effects include, but are not limited to, headache, difficulty sleeping, drowsiness, dizziness, stomach cramps, and nausea.
