Crestor 10 mg Tablet is taken orally.

Crestor 10 mg Tablet contains rosuvastatin (10 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits HMG-CoA reductase: Rosuvastatin works by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase in your liver. This enzyme plays an important role in producing cholesterol inside your body.

• Increases LDL receptors: Rosuvastatin increases the number of LDL receptors on liver cells, enhancing the uptake and breakdown of LDL (bad) cholesterol from the bloodstream.

• Reduces VLDL production: By inhibiting the liver's production of VLDL, a precursor to LDL, rosuvastatin reduces the total number of VLDL and LDL particles in circulation.

Through these mechanisms, rosuvastatin effectively manages total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and ApoB while gradually increasing HDL cholesterol levels.

• Store your Crestor 10 mg Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it away from light and moisture.

• Keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Ensure you only take any medicine before its expiration date.

• For managing high cholesterol levels, a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol can complement the effects of the Crestor 10 mg Tablet. Incorporating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into your diet can be beneficial.

• Regular physical activity is recommended. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking or cycling daily. This can help lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise your HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
