CRESTOR Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is CRESTOR?
CRESTOR is the brand name for rosuvastatin and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is CRESTOR available in?
CRESTOR is available as a 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg oral tablet.
What is CRESTOR used for?
CRESTOR is a statin used for treatment of high “bad” cholesterol and triglyceride levels in certain people.
How does CRESTOR work?
CRESTOR is a statin. The main way it works is by blocking the enzyme (protein) in your liver that makes cholesterol. As a result, CRESTOR lowers your “bad” cholesterol (called low-density lipoprotein, or LDL). CRESTOR can also raise your “good” cholesterol (called high-density lipoprotein, or HDL) and lower your triglyceride levels.

CRESTOR is typically taken by mouth once daily. The typical maintenance dose ranges from 5 mg to 40 mg once daily.
