Lescol Prolib (Fluvastatin Sodium)

Fluvastatin inhibits the enzyme HMG‑CoA reductase, which is essential for cholesterol synthesis in the liver. By blocking this step, the drug lowers hepatic cholesterol production, leading to increased LDL‑receptor expression and enhanced removal of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream.

The dosage of Lescol Prolib is individualized by a prescriber based on the patient’s lipid profile, cardiovascular risk, and tolerability. The prescribing clinician determines the appropriate strength and dosing schedule.

Lescol Prolib is contraindicated in pregnancy because statins can cause fetal harm. It is also not recommended while breastfeeding, as fluvastatin may be excreted in breast milk and affect the infant.

Lescol Prolib (fluvastatin) is a moderate‑intensity statin with a relatively short half‑life, offering flexibility in dosing and a lower potential for drug‑drug interactions compared with some higher‑potency statins. Choice of statin depends on individual risk factors, target lipid levels and tolerance.

Lescol Prolib should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.

Lescol Prolib is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food, as directed by the prescribing healthcare professional. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew unless specifically instructed.

The most serious risks include rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle breakdown), significant liver injury, and rare allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Patients should report unexplained muscle pain, weakness, dark urine, or signs of liver dysfunction promptly.

Lescol Prolib should not be used by individuals who are pregnant, have active liver disease, or have a known hypersensitivity to fluvastatin or any excipients in the formulation. It is also contraindicated in patients taking certain strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.
