Rosuvastatin belongs to a group of medicines called HMG-CoA
reductase inhibitors. It is most common known by its brand name
Crestor .

Cholesterol is taken into the body through food and also made by the liver. It is needed for our body to make hormones, bile and vitamin D. There are two major forms of cholesterol: LDL Low-density lipoprotein also known as
bad cholesterol, and HDL high-density lipoprotein also called
good cholesterol. Too much bad cholesterol can block your blood
vessels and lead to a heart attack or a stroke. On the other hand
the good cholesterol removes the bad cholesterol from the
blood vessels back to to the liver and remove it from the body.
Rosuvastatin works by reducing the amount of bad cholesterol
made by the liver and raises the good cholesterol to reduce the risk
of you getting a heart attack or a stroke.

Before you start Rosuvastatin, you need to tell your doctor
the following:
- if you are allergic to it, or to any ingredients listed on the
packaging.

- if you have any liver disease, kidney disease and breathing
problems.

- if you are pregnant, intend of likely to be pregnant as it may affect
the baby.

- if you are breast feeding or intend to breast feed, Rosuvastatin can
cross breast milk and affect the baby

- if you get muscle pain, tenderness or weakness from other medicines used to treat high cholesterol or triglycerides

if you are prescribed rosuvastatin, it means the doctor deems that
the benefit of the medications to keep you alive preventing you
from getting a heart attack and stroke outweighs the rare
side effects that very likely might not happen. So, listen to your
doctor. If you experience any of the side effects that I mentioned,
you then inform the doctor immediately and take it from there.

Now last note, it is great that we live in a world where we have all
these life saving medications available for us, but it is not a good
thing for us to solely rely on these medication and not do any
lifestyle modification. These medication only controls the
condition but does not cure the condition. Things you need to do
besides following the doctor’s instruction carefully to take your
medication daily on time are to
Exercise
Control your diet, reduce fat and salt intake
Quit smoking

These are very important to keep
your body and mind healthy and strong. Work with your local
doctor and pharmacist to achieve these goals.
