About Crestor 10 mg Tablet 30's

Crestor 10 mg Tablet 30's helps reduce bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, LDL) and triglyceride levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke in the future. When the blood's cholesterol levels are out of balance (unhealthy), it can lead to high cholesterol, sometimes referred to as hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia. High blood cholesterol causes your arteries to get smaller and become blocked, which ultimately leads to cardiac conditions like heart attacks and strokes.

Crestor 10 mg Tablet 30's contains rosuvastatin, which works by blocking liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. Thus, Crestor 10 mg Tablet 30's lowers the level of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle changes (like a low-fat diet) on their own have failed. It also improves your body’s ability to remove bad cholesterol from your blood.
