Crestor

Rosuvastatin belongs to the group of medications known as HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (also known as "statins"). It is used in addition to diet and exercise to lower cholesterol levels. It works by blocking an enzyme that helps create cholesterol in the body. Therefore less cholesterol is made and levels of cholesterol in the blood decrease. Reducing cholesterol levels in the blood has been shown to lessen the risks associated with heart disease, such as heart attack. It takes two to four weeks for the maximum effect to be seen. Before starting rosuvastatin, you should be placed on a cholesterol-lowering diet. If appropriate, a program of weight control and physical exercise should be implemented.
