Time to effectsLDL reduction is visible on blood tests after 4–6 weeks of use; the reduction in clinical risk builds up with long-term use.The temporary shedding phase can appear as early as weeks 2-8 of treatment. The first visible signs of regrowth usually appear after 3-4 months of consistent use, with a fully assessable clinical effect after 6-12 months of uninterrupted treatment. The effect requires indefinite continuation; it fades within a few months of stopping.
