What is Crestor used for? 

Crestor increases good cholesterol (HDL) and lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) triglycerides in your blood. This medication works by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced by your liver. It helps by preventing heart attacks or strokes.   

For the most benefit, use this medication in adjunct with proper diet and exercise. This drug is in a drug class known as “statins”. 

How to take Crestor 

Crestor is typically taken orally with or without any food once daily. Swallow the tablet whole, and if you cannot or are having problems swallowing this drug, follow the leaflet’s instructions.    

Dosages 

Usually, a Crestor dosage for an adult with hypercholesterolemia dose would be an initial dose of Crestor 20 mg once daily. It would be a 20 mg to 40 mg dose for a maintenance dose. Both of these supplements can be taken with or without food. For the geriatric dose, an initial dose of 5mg once daily, and for a maintenance dose, it would be 5 mg to 20 mg of this medication once daily, taken with or without food. 

Keep in mind that the dosages will also vary depending on the patient’s race, age, response to treatment, and medical history. If you are of Asian heritage, your doctor may instruct you to take this medication at a lower dose because you might be more sensitive to its effects.
