  1. The common name of Crestor is Rosuvastatin. It belongs to the group of medications known

    as HMG CoA reductase inhibitors ("statins"). It is used, along with a healthy diet and exercise

    program, to improve cholesterol levels by lowering bad cholesterol and raising good

    cholesterol. It is also used to treat people who have certain inherited cholesterol disorders.
    Rosuvastatin works by blocking the enzyme that helps make cholesterol in the body. People

    with high blood cholesterol levels have a higher risk of heart diseases such as heart attacks.

    When cholesterol levels are lowered with a combination of medication, diet, and exercise, the

    risk of heart disease is lowered. It takes 2 to 4 weeks to see the maximum effect of this

    medication on cholesterol levels in blood tests.
