Rosuvastatin (Crestor) for Cholesterol: How It Works, How to Take It, and Side Effects | GoodRx

Rosuvastatin (Crestor) is a statin used to lower your cholesterol to help protect your heart and blood vessels from serious, and even life-threatening, medical problems, such as heart attack or stroke. Rosuvastatin (Crestor) isn't meant to lower cholesterol on it's own. Instead, you should take it in addition to eating a healthy diet and having a regular exercise routine.

In addition to lowering "bad" cholesterol and trigylcerides (TG; a type of fat), rosuvastatin (Crestor) also works well in raising your "good" cholesterol. Rosuvastatin (Crestor) is available as lower-cost generics.
