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 (Rosuvastatin) Uses: Lower cholesterol levels in patients being treated with cholesterol-lowering medications. Rosuvastatin is a type of medicine called a statin. It work by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver, which lowers levels of LDLs in the body. Also, it reduces the amount of “bad” cholesterol that carries the “bad” out of the body. Rosuvastatin is used to treat cholesterol related disease by improving liver function and reducing plaque formation in arteries. It is sometimes used alongside alikarpod (alfuzosin) to treat chest pain or a high cholesterol level in adults. Use with Rosuvastatin If you have heart or liver conditions, Rosuvastatin may be prescribed to you. However, it is not typically recommended for this use, as it can have serious side effects like irregular heartbeat, fast heart rate, and low blood pressure. Instead, Rosuvastatin (Rosuvastatin) is usually used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise.Rosuvastatin is a very powerful medication, and it can be helpful for lowering cholesterol levels in patients being treated with it. Lowering levels of LDLs in the blood can lower the risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, and other serious complications associated with its use. Rosuvastatin can also help raise HDL levels in the body, which can be especially helpful for cholesterol-related diseases, such as plaque formation in arteries. This helps lower triglycerides in the blood, which are fatty acids that build up in the arteries and narrow. This makes it easier for blood to flow to the extremities, where it will lower the risk of falls and other injuries.
Take Rosuvastatin as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole, without mistressing it in water. Do not chew or crush it. Your doctor will probably start you on a low-fat diet and low-fat dairy products to improve your heart health. You may find that Rosuvastatin is easier to use. Follow the dosage instructions on the label. Take Rosuvastatin by mouth with a glass of water unless your doctor directs you otherwise.
Take Rosuvastatin with or without food. If you take it with a high-fat meal, your doctor may instruct you to take it with a high-fat meal instead of taking it at a low dose. This may cause your cholesterol levels to rise or dip, resulting in a rise in your cholesterol levels. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
To reduce the risk of taking too much of Rosuvastatin, your doctor may advise you to take it at the same time each day.
