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.

CRESTOR is a name that has been given to statins by doctors for decades. It was created to give people a brand name for their cholesterol-lowering medication Crestor.
Crestor was originally developed to treat high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, a waxy substance that helps blood vessels fill with blood. It was also found to reduce levels of LDL cholesterol, or the “bad” cholesterol, by lowering "good" cholesterol levels in the blood. In clinical use, Crestor became very popular, and was widely prescribed to millions of people.
CRESTOR was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1997. It became available in 20 mg and even 40mg strengths by 2007.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of certain types of high-cholesterol-related diseases. It has been on the market since 1996, and has been used to lower bad cholesterol and increase overall cholesterol in the bloodstream.
Today, Crestor, the active ingredient in the prescription-only drug, Crestor HCT, is available as an over-the-counter drug, but it's not yet FDA approved. The Food and Drug Administration has not made any changes to Crestor's packaging. It has not approved it for patients with other serious or rare disease.
Crestor is available as a generic form of rosuvastatin, the same active ingredient as Crestor. It's sold under the brand name Crestor, which is made by CVS Health, a Walgreens pharmacy. The generic version of Crestor is called Crestor HCT. Crestor HCT contains the same active ingredient, simvastatin calcium, as Crestor.

In Canada, Crestor is available as Crestor HCT and generic versions are available for other uses.
Crestor HCT can be taken with or without food. It's not recommended to take it with food or milk. Crestor is usually taken once a day, every day at the same time of the day. It is not recommended to take it in the morning because it can cause side effects. Crestor may also interact with other medicines, including certain antipsychotics, antibiotics, certain antibiotics, and some heart medications. The most common side effects of Crestor include a decrease in blood pressure, increased cholesterol levels, and increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and death. Most of the side effects are mild and don't last more than a few hours.

is a statin that helps decrease the amount of cholesterol your body makes and also decreases the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular issues. It works by inhibiting the enzyme that produces cholesterol in the liver, reducing the amount of lipase in the liver, and preventing the breakdown of cholesterol. Without statins, this makes it easier to make cholesterol from nothing at all.
