Crestor Lawsuit (Rosuvastatin)

Crestor (Rosuvastatin) is a cholesterol controlling medicine which utilizes HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. The goal of Crestor is to help lower cholesterol as part of a diet/lifestyle/medication program.

It is well known that a buildup of cholesterol in the arteries can reduce blood flow and lead to problems such as heart attacks. Medical insights into the importance of cholesterol control have increased over the last few decades, resulting in more attention and more funding being placed on cholesterol based medications.

Crestor is frequently prescribed in low dosage at first to assist in the monitoring of body behavior and reactions.
