LEGAL INFORMATION
Crestor is an extended-release prescription drug used to treat high cholesterol. It belongs to a class of drugs called statins. The cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor has been shown in clinical trials to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood.
Lipitor works by inhibiting the enzyme that produces high levels of LDL (good) cholesterol in the body. Lowering the amount of this enzyme reduces the risk of developing atherosclerosis and helps to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Lipitor may also be used to treat high cholesterol in people who have high-risk factors for heart disease, such as those with a family history of heart disease.
Crestor is available in two doses: 20 mg and 40 mg. You should take the 20 mg dose on the first day of your menstrual period. You should take the 40 mg dose on the first day of your menstrual cycle, at least 6 months before you plan to have a baby.
Crestor should not be taken by children or adolescents under the age of 18 years. You should not use this medicine if you have a history of heart problems such as heart failure, irregular heartbeats, or have had stroke or heart surgery within the past 6 months.
Do not use Crestor in patients with a history of heart disease, unless advised by your doctor.
Do not take Crestor if you are allergic to it or to any of the ingredients contained in Crestor tablets. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before use if you are not sure whether you are taking any of the ingredients in Crestor tablets. Ask your pharmacist or doctor before use if you are not sure whether you are taking any of the following:
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. You must not breastfeed while taking this medicine. Crestor passes into breast milk, but is unlikely to be of any benefit in these patients.
Do not use Crestor in patients with a history of liver problems or other problems with the liver. Crestor tablets may cause side effects including abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach pain, and tiredness.
If you are 65 years of age or older and have had a heart attack or stroke within the past 6 months, you should not use Crestor. If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or triglycerides that are high on a C-reactive protein or aspartate transaminase (AST) test, tell your doctor.

This page is about Crestor (Rosuvastatin) and how it works. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Crestor is a prescription medication. It treats high cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-inavir) levels. It increases the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-op-op) in your liver. By reducing cholesterol levels, Crestor helps lower your LDL-levels and triglycerides (cholesterol and triglycerides-%). Lowering your cholesterol and triglycerides helps lower your blood LDL-cholesterol (also known as bad blood) and triglycerides (fat in the blood) levels. This helps your heart, brain, and organs to function normally. It also lowers triglyceride levels in your blood. Crestor is available in tablet form and as a capsule. It contains rosuvastatin as the active ingredient.
To treat high cholesterol, Crestor should be taken with at least 2 meals a day (or 3 times per week) at the same time every day. It is important to take it at the same time each day. Taking it at the same time each day will help you to get the most benefit from it and minimize any side effects.
Crestor can be taken alone or with other medications. You and your doctor should discuss the risks and benefits of taking Crestor.
You should not take Crestor if you:
Do not smoke or drink normal, high-fat meals, such as Steak and FUE foods, or if you have recently had an heart attack or stroke or if you are already taking medications that can impact your heart or stroke.
Do not use Crestor if you are also taking a medicine called "lipase inhibitors". This is a type of medicine called a lipase medicine. This medicine is used to lower high cholesterol levels in your body. It lowers the amount of cholesterol that your body makes.
Crestor should not be taken by patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It has been found in some patients to harm the unborn baby. You and your doctor should discuss the risks and benefits of taking Crestor during pregnancy or while you are taking Crestor by the baby if you become pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are breast-feeding. Crestor passes into breast milk and may harm the baby. You and your doctor should discuss the risks and benefits of taking Crestor during your treatment with Crestor.
The most common side effects of Crestor are headache, upset stomach, constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, weakness, fainting, stomach upset and visual changes. If you have any of these side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Crestor.
Less common side effects may include:
To make sure you are not pregnant or breast-feeding, you should not take Crestor if you are already taking a medication called "lipase inhibitors". Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of Crestor during pregnancy or while you are already taking Crestor.
No Crestor is not suitable for you if you are also taking a medicine called "lipase inhibitors".
