How to use Fluvas

Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use. Fluvas may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Fluvas works

Fluvas is a lipid-lowering medication (statin). It works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required in the body to make cholesterol. It thus lowers "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, raising the level of "good" cholesterol (HDL).

What if you forget to take Fluvas?

If you miss a dose of Fluvas, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Quick Tips

Your doctor may check your liver function before starting the treatment and regularly thereafter. Inform your doctor if you notice signs of liver problems such as stomach pains, unusually dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes.

Inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease or diabetes before starting treatment with this medicine. If you are diabetic, monitor your blood sugar level regularly as Lescol XL 80mg Tablet may cause an increase in your blood sugar level.
