What is Crestor?

Crestor, which has the generic name of rosuvastatin calcium, is produced by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals. Crestor is a pharmaceutical that belongs to a class of drugs known as "statins." Other drugs in the statin class include Lipitor, Zocor and Vytorin. This class of drugs is prescribed to individuals who suffer from high levels of cholesterol, which can lead to heart disease and other cardiovascular problems. Statins are prescribed in order to lower these high cholesterol levels. Crestor is designed to lower the levels of what is known as "bad" or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides and raise the level of "good" or high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
