What is Crestor?

Crestor is prescribed to people that have high cholesterol levels in their blood and are not responding to lifestyle changes enough to lower them enough. Crestor is a brand of statin medication used to effectively treat high cholesterol.

Cholesterol is needed by the body and processed by the liver, but if the blood contains too much of it deposits begin to form on the artery walls. At a 10mg dose Crestor is able to reduce the production of cholesterol in the liver by more than half when accompanied by a healthy lifestyle. It can also stop atherosclerosis progressing.

The form will then be looked at by a qualified doctor and once agreed that the medication is right for you be dispatched out to your address the same day if you order before 4:30pm. Our free delivery service will deliver your medication the next day.

How does Crestor work?

Statins work by reducing the LDL levels in the blood and raising HLD (good cholesterol). They can also be used to reduce triglycerides. In reducing bad cholesterol Crestor can stop plaque building up in the blood vessels and arteries. When plaque builds up it affects the way that blood flows around the body and can lead to coronary problems or stroke if left untreated. It also help remove the amount of cholesterol that is currently circulating in the blood to bring high blood cholesterol levels down.

How to take Crestor?

  • Before taking Crestor you should read the instructions as they will give you the most up to date information, however an overview on how to take your high blood pressure medication is as follows:
  • Crestor is usually prescribed to be taken once a day with water
  • Crestor should be taken around the same time each day to keep cholesterol levels consistent
  • Even when your cholesterol levels have reached normal levels you should still take Crestor as it will help keep the levels within normal range.
