What Is Lescol Used For?

This medication works by lowering the levels of cholesterol, especially low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the blood. It reduces the production of cholesterol by the liver and also induces some changes in cholesterol transport and distribution in the blood and tissues. In addition to the medicine and diet, your doctor may also recommend an appropriate exercise regimen for weight control. Lescol is intended for use in children aged 10 years and above.
