You should continue taking Crestor 20 mg Tablet (Rosuvastatin) as prescribed, as long-term use is generally safe and effective for managing high cholesterol. Be sure to have regular blood tests to monitor your cholesterol levels and liver function, and adjust the dose only if advised by your doctor.
