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 tablets 2.5mg and 5mg For best results, you should take a dose at least 6 hours apart (.5mcg to 2.5mcg weekly). If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to the one you used immediately. Do not take 2.5mg to 4mg. The dosage was based on your medical condition and response to treatment. If you are going to be taking other medicines, be sure to tell your doctor about any worsening worsening your health condition. You should also avoid consuming high cholesterol foods because they can increase the production of cholesterol in the liver and could reduce the effectiveness of ciclosporin. It's important to complete the full course of steroid therapy to help stop the loss of cholesterol levels and prevent the development of cancer or heart disease. Regular follow-ups with your doctor are also necessary to monitor your cholesterol levels and health condition for effects on other people. 3. You will need to consult with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new medication to ensure your safety and well-being.How long does it take for Crestor to work? Crestor is usually only effective when you are taking it for one year. It is not intended for use by more than 3 months. Crestor is not expected to work immediately. If a dose is missed, skip the missed dose. If you are using Crestor regularly and still looking to reduce your dose, consider using a lower dose such as a 5mg tablet such as as a maintenance dose of 2.5mg or a lower dose of 4.5mg. If you have been taking a lower dose of Crestor for another 6 to 12 months, discuss the benefits and risks of using a lower dose of the medication. Your doctor will decide the right dose for you, depending on your age, body weight, severity of your lipid disorders, and your response to treatment. 4. Crestor keeps the body from making too much of thebad cholesterol. Your doctor will need to test your cholesterol levels to see if they are lower than what is usually seen with medicines that carry less of a responsibility for your health. Depending on your health, you may need to take several different medicines at once. Your doctor may need to change the dose or prescribe a different medicine without being sure, but it is unlikely that you will need to change your dose every time you need a dose change. This can take time and will depend on how you respond to your medicine. 5. Crestor does not cause fat in your stomach or small intestine. It does not change the way cholesterol is used in the body. It simply lowers the amount of cholesterol that is written in the small intestine.Crestor is not intended for use by women and men under the age of 18. The use of a generic drug is not intended to be substituted for a drug that is available through a health service.
How should I take my Crestor? It's important to take your medication as recommended by your doctor. You can take your medication with or without food.Rosuvastatin is an oral medication used to treat high cholesterol levels in adults and adolescents from ages 12 and older. It is sold under the brand name Crestor. Rosuvastatin belongs to a class of medications called statins. It works by blocking certain enzymes in the body that are responsible for lipase activity. This action lowers cholesterol levels and may help to increase your HDL cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) ratio.
Rosuvastatin is a tablet that contains the active ingredient rosuvastatin, which works by blocking some of the lipase enzyme in the body. This action lowers cholesterol levels and may help to lower triglycerides (fat in the blood) and increase your HDL (good) cholesterol.
Benefits of Rosuvastatin include:
The recommended dose of Rosuvastatin is one tablet once you have been using rosuvastatin for more than 6 weeks. Depending on your response, you may need to take one tablet or twice-daily doses.
Like all medications, Rosuvastatin can cause side effects. Common side effects include:
Serious side effects, although rare, can include:
If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking rosuvastatin and contact a doctor immediately.
Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, especially if you are pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding. Using rosuvastatin during pregnancy may cause problems. Your doctor may ask you to use safer medicines, or prescribe more medicines, before you start taking rosuvastatin. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed. If you are taking other medicines, talk to your doctor about them.
Rosuvastatin can make you dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything that needs alertness or clear vision until you are sure you can do it safely. Do not stand up or sit up if you feel sleepy or dizzy while using rosuvastatin. Do not stand or sit up quickly, slow, or feel dizzy or sleepy until you are sure you can do it safely. Before you take rosuvastatin, you may need to use a light sedative, such as one that falls within the normal range, to calm you down. You should not drive, operate machinery, or do any type of activity that requires you to be alert until you are safely drowsy or drowsy.Sold and Supplied by Healthylife Pharmacy
