Crestor is a cholesterol-lowering medication that lowers LDL cholesterol when taken together with a healthy diet and regular exercise. It also lowers triglycerides, an important fatty-acid for the body. Crestor is available in tablet form and is usually taken once a day. It's important to follow the directions on the package for best results.
Crestor may be used to reduce the risk of developing heart attacks, strokes, and other heart problems in people with a family history of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat in the family).
Crestor is used in adults and children over the age of 6 years. Crestor may also be used in children and adolescents over the age of 12 years.
Crestor works by blocking the enzyme 5-lipoprotein (a protein in the body that lowers cholesterol) that is responsible for lowering LDL cholesterol. It reduces the amount of cholesterol made by the liver and blocks some of the bad cholesterol that is released in the blood.
Crestor is taken at least one hour before exercise, and it should only be taken as a whole, even when taken with food. Crestor should be taken with a meal or snack, and it can be taken with or without food.
Crestor may cause serious side effects, including:
These side effects usually go away on their own as the body adjusts to the medication. However, if you experience any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor.

Crestor has been recalled in the U. S. because it could lead to serious heart problems, a new study showsA new study shows that some prescription drugs can cause serious skin reactions, including heart attacks and strokes.
In the heart-attack-risk-compared drug group, the risk of heart attack and stroke was the same for Crestor and Crestor CR (rosuvastatin calcium), a drug that helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood. The risk of heart attack was higher in the Crestor group, the researchers found.
The study, which was conducted in the early 1990s, found that the combination of rosuvastatin calcium and simvastatin calcium, the statin used to lower cholesterol, led to more severe heart attacks among patients taking Crestor or other statins. The most common side effects were headache, fatigue, low back pain, and muscle pain.
The researchers also found that patients taking the rosuvastatin group had an increased risk of stroke.

Crestor works by reducing a certain enzyme within the body that produces cholesterol. It belongs to a class of medications called statins.
Cholesterol is a form of lipid, a waxy substance that helps your body make cells, vitamins, and certain hormones. It is not inherently bad. Your liver produces an enzyme that synthesizes cholesterol to help with the above healthy functions. Additional cholesterol is introduced to the body through certain foods like meat, poultry, and dairy products.
There are two types of cholesterol: high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) and low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). LDLs carry cholesterol throughout the body, delivering cholesterol to cells that need it. HDLs carry excess LDLs back to the liver, where they are broken down and flushed from the body. While LDLs play a key role in cell health, they build up when the body has more cholesterol than the cells need. This buildup turns into plaque in the arteries (blood vessels). As plaque covers the artery walls, the blood vessels become narrow. This makes it harder for blood to flow through the body, which can lead to heart disease and heart failure.
Statins work by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver, which lowers the overall cholesterol levels in the body. Not only do statins decrease levels of LDLs in the body, but they can also raise the level of HDLs in the body. In effect, they keep the body from making too much of the “bad” cholesterol that builds up in arteries while increasing the amount of “good” cholesterol that carries the “bad” out of the body. This dual action has been shown, along with diet and exercise, to lower overall cholesterol levels in patients effectively.
