Overview
Crestor 5mg Tablets from AstraZeneca contain rosuvastatin, one of the most effective statins for lowering high cholesterol. Rosuvastatin blocks the liver enzyme that produces cholesterol, reducing "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while raising "good" HDL cholesterol. Protecting against heart attack and stroke. The 5mg strength is a gentle starting dose, often chosen for older patients, those on interacting medicines or those who experienced muscle aches on stronger statins. Combined with diet and exercise, Crestor 5mg offers people a well-tolerated entry point to long-term cholesterol control (28 tablets).
Rosuvastatin (as rosuvastatin calcium) 5mg per film-coated tablet.

Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your response.
Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or in active liver disease. Report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness promptly. Rarely, statins cause serious muscle breakdown. Tell your doctor about all other medicines, especially certain antacids, antibiotics, antifungals, HIV medicines and other cholesterol treatments. People of Asian descent may need lower doses.
