Crestor Information

reviewed by Carol Hou, Pharmacist on 4/24/2024 12:55:22 PM.

Crestor Details (Brand and Generic)

Our Canadian pharmacy offers the brand version of Crestor from Canada, India, Australia, and Turkey, which AstraZeneca manufactures. The generic Rosuvastatin comes from Canada and is manufactured by Pharmaris Canada (PRZ-Rosuvastatin), Pharma Science, Mylan, Sandoz, or Cobalt, and from the UK by a different manufacturer. We may sometimes stock other generic Rosuvastatin, known as Rosulip (manufactured by Cipla in India) and Vrestor (manufactured by Centurion Labs in India). You can purchase Lipitor and other cholesterol medications with significant cost savings directly from our website.

Dosage

Crestor and the generic Rosuvastatin are available in 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg tablets; please refer to Healthline for more dosage details.

Usage

Crestor (Rosuvastatin) is used along with diet to lower the level of bad cholesterol and fat in your blood and slow the buildup of plaque in the walls of blood vessels, as the official website specifies. This medication also treats adults and children over eight with high blood cholesterol due to heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Crestor may be used alone or in combination with other cholesterol-lowering treatments. The active ingredient in Rosuvastatin belongs to a group of medications known as HMG CoA Reductase Inhibitors, also known as (statins). Statins reduce the levels of bad cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood and increase the amount of good cholesterol. This action helps to keep cholesterol levels under control, which in turn helps to lower the risk of a heart attack and stroke in patients who have diabetes or who have heart disease. The starting dose for most adults is 5 mg (source).

Crestor is part of a complete treatment program that includes diet, exercise, and weight control. It is essential to take this medication exactly as your doctor prescribes or refer to the package insert. For personalized advice, please get in touch with your doctor.
