Crestor 5 mg is a generic drug used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It helps prevent heart disease, stroke, and certain types of high cholesterol (HDL) cholesterol-lowering drugs. This medicine contains 20 mg of the active ingredient, rosuvastatin. This drug is approved for use in adults and children over the age of 12. Crestor 5 mg reduces the formation of high cholesterol, which is a result of atherosclerosis, a buildup of plaque in the arteries. High cholesterol is a risk factor for heart disease, which increases the risk of stroke, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular events. High cholesterol plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis, which is a narrowing of the arteries. Crestor 5 mg lowers cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol. Crestor 5 mg may be used alone or in combination with other medications to lower cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol. It may also be used as a preventative measure if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, liver disease, or if you have certain heart or blood vessel problems. Talk with your doctor or health care provider to see if Crestor 5 mg is right for you. This medication has the FDA approved indications: The active ingredient rosuvastatin is in the class of medicines called statins. These medicines lower cholesterol levels in the blood by blocking the enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme increases the levels of cholesterol in the liver. By reducing the production of cholesterol, Crestor 5 mg reduces the buildup of plaque in the arteries, thus reducing heart attack, stroke, and certain types of high cholesterol (HDL) cholesterol-lowering drugs. It lowers the amount of LDL (bad) cholesterol (also known as bad) in the blood. Lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol is important for preventing heart disease, stroke, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular events in people with high LDL cholesterol. Crestor 5 mg may also be used to lower the amount of HMG-CoA reductase (also known as cytochrome P450) in the liver to reduce the formation of high cholesterol (HDL).

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 can cause a dangerous drop in cholesterol levels associated with some cancers, for example, if it is taken with a high-fat meal. Even if you do not have elevated levels of LDLs, you may still have cholesterol build-up in your arteries, so you may have a heart attack or a stroke. Lowering or slowing the production of cholesterol in the body should not be taken lightly.It is important to follow your doctor’s recommendations, as well as any specific tests and tests for cholesterression, regarding Crestor.
High-density lipoprotein (C level)High-density lipoprotein (C) is a lipoprotein that is produced in the body in response to stress and to cholesterol. Iticesterly helps block the production of bad cholesterol from the bloodstream and keeps the body from making too much of it.
Taking high-density lipoprotein (C) with Crestor increases the level of low levels of cholesterol, especially in individuals with high-density lipoprotein (C) cholesterol levels, in the blood. This increase in cholesterol levels helps to preventolesterylemia and is therefore referred to as “good” cholesterol. Lowering or slowing this production of bad cholesterol may actually lower the risk of developing a variety of different diseases, including, “bad” cholesterol, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
When taken properly, high-density lipoprotein (C) can block the production of bad cholesterol in the body. This can lead to a dangerous drop in blood cholesterol levels and into patients with a variety of health conditions, including, “bad” cholesterol, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
Taking Crestor with high-density lipoprotein (C) can also increase the level of LDLs, reducing the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries. This makes it easier for blood to flow through the body, reducing the overall risk of heart attacks, heart failure, and stroke.
High-density lipoprotein (C) can also increase the levels of triglycerides, the fat in your blood that you lack. This increases the likelihood of a high triglyceride level being present in the blood. Taking Crestor with high-density lipoprotein (C) can also increase the levels of high-density lipoprotein (C) cholesterol, which can contribute to the formation of “bad” cholesterol in the blood.
If you do not have high levels of these lipoproteins in your system, it is important to take a “prescription” supplement containing Crestor into your daily life to help reduce your risk of developing a “bad” cholesterol infection.
