Some patients go through lifestyle changes, such as switching to a low fat diet and exercising regularly, with the aim of decreasing cholesterol to a healthy level. This medication limits the production of bad cholesterol, resulting in a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular complications.
To order this treatment a online consultation must be completed. Our online consultation provides our doctor with the information required to determine whether you're suitable for this treatment.
For most patients, lifestyle changes such as following a low-fat diet and doing regular exercise are not enough to lower their cholesterol to a healthy level. Although the lifestyle changes should be implemented in addition to the medication, you can buy Lescol in order to help your body rid itself of the “bad” cholesterol and improve your life expectancy, as well as reduce any chance of cardiovascular complications.
The active ingredient is fluvastatin, which belongs to a group of medications, which target the lipids (fats) in the blood cells. High levels of lipids lead to an excess of “bad” cholesterol (LDL), which can clog the arteries and lead to heart conditions and blood clots or stroke. This medication is also sometimes prescribed to patients with high levels of triglycerides, another type of lipid, which in excess can cause serious health problems.
Most people can safely buy Lescol if they are suffering from high cholesterol levels and need to reduce their risks of harmful heart conditions. However, the active ingredient is fluvastatin and some people can be hypersensitive to this compound and therefore should take a different type of medication. In addition, anyone with liver problems or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take this medication. During your consultation, you should mention any conditions you have or any medications you are taking, as Lescol may not be the most effective medication for you.
If you are an adult with high cholesterol and you want to buy Lescol online, you will usually be prescribed a daily dose of between 20mg and 80mg. You will initially be prescribed a lower dose in order to make sure that the medication does not have any negative effects. Your doctor may review your dosage within four weeks, but do not exceed the prescribed number of tablets to be taken per day. Lescol will be most effective when used alongside a low cholesterol diet and regular exercise. Do not mix grapefruits or grapefruit juice with your medication, because the combination of statins and grapefruit can have a negative effect and prevent your body from absorbing the medication properly.
Some patients may experience side effects after taking the medication, the most common of which include nausea, abdominal pain and headaches. However, some users may suffer from more severe side effects, which usually affect less than one person in every 10,000. Consult your doctor if you experience any unexplained muscle pain, unusual tiredness, dizziness, swelling of the face, skin lesions or blotchiness, difficulty breathing or any yellowness of the eyes and skin.
Mild headaches are a common side effect of Lescol. Difficulty sleeping may also occur.
