Product Description
Crestor 40 mg Tablets contain rosuvastatin, a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) used to treat primary hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia, and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. It significantly lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides while moderately increasing HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Crestor 40 mg is the highest available dose, typically prescribed for patients needing aggressive lipid lowering or those with high cardiovascular risk. When combined with lifestyle changes, it helps reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other major cardiovascular events in adults.
