Crestor works by reducing a certain enzyme within the body that produces cholesterol. It belongs to a class of medications called statins.
Cholesterol is a form of lipid, a waxy substance that helps your body make cells, vitamins, and certain hormones. It is not inherently bad. Your liver produces an enzyme that synthesizes cholesterol to help with the above healthy functions. Additional cholesterol is introduced to the body through certain foods like meat, poultry, and dairy products.
There are two types of cholesterol: high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) and low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). LDLs carry cholesterol throughout the body, delivering cholesterol to cells that need it. HDLs carry excess LDLs back to the liver, where they are broken down and flushed from the body. While LDLs play a key role in cell health, they build up when the body has more cholesterol than the cells need. This buildup turns into plaque in the arteries (blood vessels). As plaque covers the artery walls, the blood vessels become narrow. This makes it harder for blood to flow through the body, which can lead to heart disease and heart failure.
Statins work by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver, which lowers the overall cholesterol levels in the body. Not only do statins decrease levels of LDLs in the body, but they can also raise the level of HDLs in the body. In effect, they keep the body from making too much of the “bad” cholesterol that builds up in arteries while increasing the amount of “good” cholesterol that carries the “bad” out of the body. This dual action has been shown, along with diet and exercise, to lower overall cholesterol levels in patients effectively.

I’m having a hard time finding some information to describe the side effects of a particular prescription, but here is some information to make you feel confident:
You might have heard about the side effects of statins such as Crestor or Vytorin, but it is hard to know whether or not statins affect your cholesterol or your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
You might also hear that the side effects of statins are also associated with their long-term use, so it may be that a certain statin may be associated with a certain kind of side effect.
These side effects are also known as CVD, a condition that is associated with being overweight, having a high cholesterol, being underweight, high blood pressure, and having low levels of HDL.
The risk of a heart attack or stroke, which can be life-threatening, is the risk of a heart attack, stroke, or other serious health problem, including heart failure, which can be life-threatening.
You might also have heard that statins are also associated with having a high risk of a stroke, but the studies and data are not enough to confirm this.
You might also have heard that the side effects of statins are also associated with having a high risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
It is not clear what the link between cholesterol and a heart attack or stroke is, but it is clear that the risk of having a heart attack or stroke should be taken into consideration when making decisions about treatment.
It is also important to understand that there is a high chance that a certain statin may be associated with a heart attack or stroke. This may be because the statins have a role to play in the prevention of heart attacks or strokes, and they may also be protective of the heart.
It is also important to note that the association between cholesterol and a heart attack or stroke should be considered in a person with an underlying heart disease, but the benefit of the statins is not always clear, and they may also have an impact on the risk of a heart attack or stroke. It may be helpful to look at your cholesterol level and to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking statins.
If you have any questions or concerns about the benefits and risks of taking statins, consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
VIDEOYou might also be able to tell by looking at your cholesterol levels that a certain statin may have a more favourable effect than a different statin, and that it may be beneficial to take it in the long term.
For more information, read through the information section below.
Remember:Drinking alcohol or drugs, particularly illicit drugs, may increase your risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk of having a heart attack or stroke can be increased by taking the statins, or by taking the medication and having your risk factors checked. Your doctor can help you make an informed decision about whether to take a statin if you have any of the following conditions:
• Severe heart disease • Severe liver disease • Severe kidney disease • Heart failure or high cholesterol • High blood pressure • Liver disease • Low levels of HDL or good cholesterol • Diabetes • High cholesterol • Glaucoma • Hypertension • Hypertension with angina or other heart disease • Heart disease or heart failure • Heart attack or stroke • Pregnancy • Breastfeeding • Smoking • It is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking statins if you have any of the following conditions:
• Severe liver disease • Severe kidney disease • Heart failure or high cholesterol • Heart attack or stroke • Pregnancy • Lactose intolerance • It is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking statins if you have any of the following conditions:
• Severe heart failure • High cholesterol • Severe kidney disease • Heart disease or high cholesterol • Heart attack or stroke • Pregnancy • Breastfeeding • Smoking • It is important to tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding.
It is important to note that there is an increased risk of heart attack and stroke associated with taking statins. This risk may not be seen with other medicines such as aspirin, warfarin, or other blood thinners, as these medicines can have a direct effect on the blood vessels in your lungs and brain. This is because statins have a role to play in the prevention of heart attacks or strokes.
