Rosuvastatin (Crestor) is a prescription medication used to treat high cholesterol and prevent heart attacks and strokes. It belongs to a class of drugs called statins, which lower cholesterol by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme and increasing cholesterol breakdown in the liver.
Rosuvastatin is available in tablet form.
While Crestor is most commonly used in adults, it is also approved for patients aged 7 years and older managing homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and patients aged 8 years and older with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH).
To comply with Canadian International Pharmacy Association regulations you are permitted to order a 3-month supply or the closest package size available based on your personal prescription. read more
