Crestor® is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It effectively decreases total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglycerides, while increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
Rosuvastatin is a selective inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This results in reduced cholesterol production and increased clearance of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Taken orally once daily, with or without food.
The usual starting dose is 5 mg or 10 mg, adjusted based on individual response and medical supervision.
May include:
Most patients tolerate the medication well.
