Crestor 20Mg 28Tab

Crestor is a medication used to treat high levels of cholesterol in the blood. It belongs to a class of drugs known as statins, which work to lower levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase levels of good cholesterol (HDL). It is used as part of a comprehensive system that includes a healthy diet and exercise.

Crestor works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in the process of cholesterol production in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, Crestor helps lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes. It also shows anti-inflammatory effects, promoting vascular health. Crestor is considered an effective option for patients who need to significantly lower their cholesterol levels.
