Crestor 10Mg 28Tab

Crestor is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels in the blood, belonging to a class of drugs known as statins. It works by reducing levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and increasing levels of good cholesterol (HDL). It is used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet and exercise.

Crestor works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in cholesterol production in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, Crestor helps lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It also shows benefits in improving triglyceride levels and reducing inflammation in blood vessels, thereby enhancing overall heart health.
