Patient Information
Crestor (rosuvastatin) is a statin used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease in people with elevated levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) or triglycerides. It also may reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Uses
Lowering LDL levels reduces the risk of cardiovascular events and reduces the risk of stroke in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Additionally, people with NAFLD may have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke, compared to people without NAFLD.
How to Use It
Take Crestor regularly and if you should take it, take it regularly with a glass of water. It is usually taken with or without food. You should take it at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the medication in your blood. It is important to continue taking it even when you feel well. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break it. Do not use it for more than 14 days. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember it. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

The recommended dose is 10 mg, once a day. If you are taking it at the same time, you should take it at the same time each day. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours, unless your doctor tells you to. Your doctor will tell you how many times to take it. You should take it at the same time each day.
In adults with coronary artery disease, 10 mg/day is the recommended dose.

Crestor is also used to treat high cholesterol, which is a risk factor for heart disease.
