What is Crestor Used For?
  • Crestor (rosuvastatin) is a drug that is used in
    conjunction with a healthy diet to decrease bad
    cholesterol levels, raise good cholesterol
    levels, and lower triglycerides (a type of fat in
    the blood). It is prescribed for adults and
    children aged 8 and up.
  • This drug is also used
  • In adults, to prevent plaque accumulation in
    blood arteries, which can obstruct blood flow.

Is Crestor a Statin?
Crestor is just one of the drugs that belongs to
a class of drugs known as statins. It inhibits a
liver enzyme, leading the liver to produce less
cholesterol, and it enhances the absorption and
breakdown of cholesterol already in the blood by
the liver. They lower cholesterol levels in the
blood.

Crestor comes in tablet form. You can take this
with or without food, and the manufacturer
suggests taking it once a day. And it is supplied
as 5 mg, 10mg, 20mg and 40mg Crestor is used once
a day in doses ranging from 5 to 40 mg in adults.
10 to 20 mg once daily is the typical beginning
dosage. Make sure you follow your doctors dose
and use instructions. Your treatment plan will be
personalized to your requirements and the problem

treated, pediatric doses, cholesterol levels, and
other factors all impact dosages. Talk to your
doctors about dosages and any related questions.

Crestor vs Lipitor
Lipitor and Crestor are both effective medicines
for lowering cholesterol and reducing the risk of
heart attacks and strokes. Crestor was found to
be more effective in trials in lowering total
cholesterol and increasing HDL levels (the good
cholesterol). Finally, you should get advice from
your healthcare practitioner to evaluate which
option is best for you.
