Crestor *

Description

Crestor / Stator (rosuvastatin) is prescribed for people with high blood cholesterol levels.  Rosuvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase enzyme inhibitor. Its role is to reduce the levels of low-density (LDL) cholesterol while increasing levels of healthy, high-density (HDL) cholesterol.

Crestor is prescribed together with diet to treat primary or mixed dyslipidemia or familial hypercholesterolemia, after exercise and weight reduction have not produced adequate results. It is also prescribed for cases of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia together with other lipid-lowering treatment and exercise.

DosageThe dosage and regime is determined by the prescribing doctor, based on personal factors such as age, weight, cholesterol levels and possible interactions with other medications. Do not exceed the recommended dose, or reduce the dose without first consulting with a doctor. Crestor / Stator can be taken with or without food, and should be taken at the same time every day.
