CRESTOR 10MG 1X30

Crestor  10 mg

Crestor 10 mg is a statin, a type of medication that reduces levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, thereby reducing the risk of future heart attack and stroke. Two types of cholesterol exist in our bodies: good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) and bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein) (low-density lipoprotein). Good cholesterol is beneficial to the heart and aids in the reduction of bad cholesterol. In contrast, excessive LDL cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease, including heart attack and stroke. Hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia refers to a condition in which there is an abnormally high level of cholesterol in the blood. When your blood cholesterol levels are high, your arteries constrict and become clogged, which can lead to cardiovascular issues such as stroke and heart attack. High cholesterol is caused by consuming high-cholesterol or high-fat foods and beverages, as well as genetic factors.

Crestor 10 mg inhibits the production of cholesterol by liver enzymes, causing the liver to produce less cholesterol. As a result, Crestor 10 mg enhances the liver’s ability to absorb and metabolize cholesterol in the blood. Crestor 10 mg decreases the levels of lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when lifestyle modifications (such as a low-fat diet) have failed. Crestor 10 mg reduces “bad” cholesterol and raises “good” cholesterol by inhibiting the production of “bad” cholesterol in the body. It also enhances the body’s ability to eliminate the substance.

Crestor 10 mg can be administered either with or without food. With a glass of water, it must be consumed in its entirety. It must not be chewed, broken, or bit. The frequency with which you should take your medications will be determined by your doctor based on your medical condition. Possible side effects include myalgia (muscle pain), asthenia (lack of energy), nausea, headache, abdominal pain, muscle pain, weakness, and daytime drowsiness. The majority of Crestor 10 mg side effects do not necessitate medical attention and will subside with time. However, if the negative effects persist, consult a physician. It is essential to have your lipid profile tested frequently.

This medication is only one component of a comprehensive treatment plan that also includes a low-fat diet, regular exercise, cessation of smoking, moderate alcohol consumption, and weight loss. You can eat normally while taking this medication, but you should avoid high-fat foods. Inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, are pregnant or nursing, have diabetes, severe lung disease, or a musculoskeletal disorder prior to starting Crestor 10 mg (like myopathy and rhabdomyolysis). Crestor 10 mg should not be combined with medications that suppress the immune system (cyclosporine) or anti-HIV medications (lopinavir, ritonavir, or atazanavir) due to the risk of severe side effects.

Crestor 10 mg is beneficial for hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), heart attack prevention, and stroke prevention.

Medicinal Advantages

Crestor 10 mg reduces the risk of heart disease and coronary events, such as heart attack, stroke, and heart-related chest pain (angina). Crestor 10 mg can help patients who are at a high risk for these occurrences. In addition to lipid-lowering medications and dietary changes, it is also administered to children (aged 8 and older) with familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic disease that causes high cholesterol. Crestor 10 mg plays a crucial role in preventing the progression of atherosclerosis in adult patients (blocked arterial walls of the heart due to fat/lipid deposition, resulting in heart attack and stroke).

Use Instructions

As directed by your physician, Crestor 10 mg may be taken with or without food. It is advisable to take it at a particular time.

Drug Recommendations

Long-term use of Rosuvastatin may result in myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, and impairment of the kidneys. If you take Rosuvastatin on a daily basis, you should undergo regular liver enzyme testing. A person with liver disease who consumes excessive amounts of alcohol should seek medical advice before consuming it. Be cautious if you are taking a blood thinner or anticoagulant, such as warfarin or coumarin. A 2-hour interval should be maintained between the administration of Rosuvastatin and antacids such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. Regular use of Rosuvastatin will cause an increase in HbA1c and fasting glucose levels. Therefore, you should inform your physician before receiving these diabetes tests. Patients with proteinuria or hematuria should inform their physician prior to initiating treatment with Rosuvastatin, as their dose may need to be adjusted.

Interactions Between Drugs

When combined with cyclosporine (organ transplant medication), warfarin or clopidogrel (blood thinners), fibrates (gemfibrozil, fenofibrate), a cholesterol-lowering medication (ezetimibe), antacids (aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide), antibiotics (erythromycin, fusidic acid), oral contraceptive pills, regorafenib (cancer medication), antiviral or antifung (ritonavir, lopinavir, atazanavir, simeprevir, ombitasvir, paritaprevir, dasabuvir, velpatasvir, grazoprevir, elbasvir, glecaprevir, and pibrentsavir).

Use Rosuvastatin with caution if you have kidney problems, thyroid gland problems (hypothyroidism), muscular problems (such as rhabdomyolysis, myopathy), blood in the urine (hematuria), or protein in the urine (proteinuria).

While taking Rosuvastatin, alcoholic beverages must not be consumed.
