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) can decrease levels of LDLs in the body. Take Crestor tablets about one hour before you plan to have your cholesterol checked. This may keep your cholesterol from building up in your system as well as your risk of having dark blood in your blood vessels. In addition to decreasing cholesterol levels in the body, this medication can keep your body from making too much of the “good” 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 help keep the body from making too much of the bad cholesterol that covers the walls of the blood vessels while keep the good cholesterol in the arteries level in the body low. It is not an antipyretic and does not work as well as low- cholesterol diets. You should take this medication at the same time every day.Crestor can also be used to treat high blood pressure. Your doctor will determine the amount of “good” cholesterol that is allowed to flow out of your body, plus a medicine called hydrochlorothiazide, along with a diet and exercise program. It is not recommended to take this medication more than once a day.
It is important to tell your doctor about any medical conditions you have, as they may cause them to decrease the production of this medication. Also, if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, your doctor should discuss with you how this medication could affect your baby. Also, if you experience any serious side effects, including a decreased hearing or dizziness, consider contacting your doctor.
Crestor (rosuvastatin) tablets can be taken with or without food. You may take it with or without food. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. It is not recommended to take this medication more often than prescribed by your doctor. This means you should be aware of the treatment's right to know if you are needlessly treated.The medication can change how your body works. With cholesterol prevention, you will have fewer bad cholesterol builds up in the body. With treatment, you will have fewer bad cholesterol carries the “bad” out of the body.
