Information
CRESTOR (Rosuvastatin) belongs to a group of drugs called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (also known as statins). HMG-CoA reductase is an enzyme involved in the regulation of lipids in the body. CRESTOR (Rosuvastatin) is usually used along with changes to diet and exercise to reduce the levels of lipids in the blood. If high lipid levels are left untreated, they can build up in the walls of the vessels carrying blood around the body which, over time, can lead to narrowing of these vessels. This disease is called atherosclerosis and is one of the most common causes of heart disease.
