Lescol XLThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Lescol XL but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Lescol XL (when available) Fluvastatin, the first synthetically-prepared HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, is used as an antilipemic to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels associated with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia (Fredrickson types IIa and IIb) and to slow the progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with coronary artery disease. Although similar to lovastatin, simvastatin, and pravastatin, Fluvastatin has a shorter half-life, no active metabolites, extensive protein binding, and minimal CSF penetration. For management as an adjunct to diet to reduce elevated total-C, LDL-C, apo B, and TG levels in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia Mechanism Of Action: Fluvastatin selectively and competitively inhibits the hepatic enzyme hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. As HMG-CoA reductase is responsible for converting HMG-CoA to mevalonate, this results in a decrease in mevalonate, a precursor of cholesterol, and a subsequent decrease in hepatic cholesterol levels and increase in uptake of LDL cholesterol.
