What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description
Lescol XL uses
Lescol XL (Fluvastatin)
Lescol XL (Fluvastatin) belongs to the family of statins which is used for the treatment of high cholesterol levels.
Lescol tablets initiate its working by blocking the enzyme in the liver which is a source of making cholesterol. This enzyme is known as hydroxy-methyl glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase). Statins such as Lescol XL stop the production of this enzyme. Lescol XL is also referred to as an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.
