The policosanol is a mixture of eight higher fatty alcohols such as octacosanol extracted from cane wax. Animal experiments show that policosanol can reduce serum cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) levels of normal and endogenous high cholesterol animals. Various animal model researches show that policosanol can reduce cholesterol in liver, adipose tissue and heart. The active ingredient drug is orally taken with little acute toxicity, and has no genetic toxicity, reproductive toxicity and carcinogenicity.
The policosanol tablet was first developed by the company of the laboratory limited of copa damer and was approved by the copa drug administration in 1991 for sale in copa.
