1) WHAT CRESTOR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Crestor belongs
to
a
group of
medicines
called statins.
YOU HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED CRESTOR BECAUSE:
•
You
have a
high
cholesterol
level.
This
means you are at risk from a heart attack
or
stroke. Crestor
is
used
in
adults,
adolescents
and
children
6
years
or older
to
treat high
cholesterol.
• You have been advised to take a statin,
because changing
your diet and
taking
more exercise
were not
enough
to
correct
your cholesterol levels. You should continue
with your
cholesterol-lowering
diet
and
exercise
while you are taking
Crestor.
Or
• You have other factors that increase your
risk of having
a heart attack, stroke or
related health problems.
Heart attack, stroke and other problems can
be
caused
by
a disease called atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is due to build-up of fatty
deposits in your arteries.

substances in the blood called lipids, the most
common of which is cholesterol.
