Indication
Crestor is used for lowering high cholesterol and triglycerides in certain patients. It also increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL, 'good') cholesterol levels. It is also used to slow atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries) in patients with high blood cholesterol levels. It is used along with an appropriate diet. Crestor is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, also known as a 'statin.' It works by reducing the production of certain fatty substances in the body, including cholesterol.
 
Instruction
Use Crestor as directed by your doctor.

• Take Crestor by mouth with or without food.
• If you also take an antacid that has aluminum or magnesium in it, take it at least 2 hours after taking Crestor. Check with your doctor if you have any questions.
• Continue to take Crestor even if you feel well. Do not miss any dose.
