Fluvastatin is a medication used to lower blood cholesterol levels, helping to prevent cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack or stroke. It works by inhibiting an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver, thus reducing total cholesterol and LDL ('bad cholesterol').
Fluvastatin is taken orally, usually once a day, preferably in the evening, with or without food, as directed by your doctor. It is important to accompany the treatment with a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking to achieve the best results.
Common side effects include headache, muscle pain, fatigue, or digestive disturbances. Rarely, more serious reactions may occur, such as liver or muscle damage (myopathy, rhabdomyolysis). If you experience severe muscle pain, weakness, or dark urine, contact your doctor immediately.
Fluvastatin is effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications, but requires regular blood tests and strict adherence to medical recommendations to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
