Patients who have had heart surgery within the last 90 days who are elderly, those with diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, have a family history of or coronary artery disease, have had a stroke, are taking cyclosporine (NeuLac or Neumaquine), digoxin (Lanoxin) or leucovorin (VfLorin) and are taking furosemide (Vidasan), phenytoin (Dilantin) or any other medication that contains Amiodarone (Fluvastatin).
Crestor works by reducing a certain enzyme within the body that produces cholesterol. It belongs to a class of medications called statins.
Cholesterol is a form of lipid, a waxy substance that helps your body make cells, vitamins, and certain hormones. It is not inherently bad. Your liver produces an enzyme that synthesizes cholesterol to help with the above healthy functions. Additional cholesterol is introduced to the body through certain foods like meat, poultry, and dairy products.
There are two types of cholesterol: high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) and low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). LDLs carry cholesterol throughout the body, delivering cholesterol to cells that need it. HDLs carry excess LDLs back to the liver, where they are broken down and flushed from the body. While LDLs play a key role in cell health, they build up when the body has more cholesterol than the cells need. This buildup turns into plaque in the arteries (blood vessels). As plaque covers the artery walls, the blood vessels become narrow. This makes it harder for blood to flow through the body, which can lead to heart disease and heart failure.
Statins work by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver, which lowers the overall cholesterol levels in the body. Not only do statins decrease levels of LDLs in the body, but they can also raise the level of HDLs in the body. In effect, they keep the body from making too much of the “bad” cholesterol that builds up in arteries while increasing the amount of “good” cholesterol that carries the “bad” out of the body. This dual action has been shown, along with diet and exercise, to lower overall cholesterol levels in patients effectively.
Crestor (rosuvastatin) is a generic prescription-only drug also known as atorvastatin. It is used to reduce the risk of certain heart and lung problems caused by cholesterol levels, such as irregular heartbeats, slow heartbeat, and pneumonia. It may be used alone or in conjunction with other medications to lower cholesterol levels in patients who are at risk for these side effects. HDLs are the main source of bad cholesterol in LDLs. This can help keep your heart and lung from working effectively while increasing the risk of certain side effects like certain cancers.As with any prescription medication, Crestor may cause side effects such as:
If you experience any of these symptoms while taking Crestor, seek medical attention immediately.
As with all medications, Crestor may cause side effects. The most common side effects include:
In rare cases, certain bone disease events can be serious. Determined by your doctor. The conditions may be conditions that make it difficult for your bones to return to their original form. Conditions that can cause or producing or enlarging’ might means you might need to take Crestor.
Crestor can cause serious side effects. If you experience symptoms of a serious side effect, seek medical attention immediately. This is especially true if you have a known history of liver disease or conditions that increase the risk for osteoporosis. Symptoms like these usually settle after a while.
If you experience symptoms of a serious side effect, you should contact your doctor immediately. If you experience symptoms of a serious side effect, you often experience these:
A new drug that may help reduce the number of people who suffer from heart attacks and strokes in the future.
New research shows that the drug Crestor, which is taken by people at high risk for heart attack and stroke, could help reduce the number of people who suffer from heart disease, the researchers said. The drug is already available as a generic drug.
Crestor, the first oral drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of high blood pressure, is also a part of the group of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).
“This is a major step forward for patients with a history of heart disease, and it is important that they know that this new drug could improve their quality of life,” said Dr. Robert W. Weintraub, professor of medicine at the University of Washington and one of the lead authors of the study.
The drug was originally developed as an anti-depressant, and researchers began testing it in patients at high risk for heart attack or stroke.
“We were looking at whether it would be useful for patients who have a history of heart disease,” Wintraub said.
The drug was approved by the FDA on Aug. 7, 2005, and the study is expected to be published in the March 2024 issue of the American Heart Association’s journal,JAMA Internal Medicine.
The drug is already in use as a cholesterol-lowering medication, but it is not known whether it can lower the risk of heart attack and stroke.
The drug is not approved by the FDA for long-term use, and it has been linked to side effects such as liver problems, including a possible increase in cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
The drug is also not expected to be used in patients who are taking an ARB, as it is known to be more likely to develop serious liver problems.
The study was funded by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals and Merck & Co.
“This study is important because it will help us understand why patients have a higher risk of heart attack and stroke,” Wintraub said.
He also said that the FDA had approved the drug for use in patients with a history of high blood pressure or heart disease.
“Our results were not based on the history of heart disease, but we were looking at whether it would be useful for patients who have a history of heart disease,” Wintraub said. “The way we looked at it is that we were looking at whether it would be useful for patients who have a history of heart disease, and we wanted to find out whether there was a relationship between that history and the risk of heart attack and stroke.”
Dr. Thomas G. Lechleiter, professor of medicine at the University of Southern California, and a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego, said there was no relationship between the use of the drug and the risk of heart attack or stroke.
“We didn’t know what the impact on this patient’s blood pressure was, but we wanted to find out whether it was a risk factor for heart attack and stroke,” Lechleiter said.
The study’s findings could help to prevent or reduce the development of heart disease, the researchers said.
The study, which was published in theNew England Journal of Medicinein April 2024, involved 18,000 people in more than 12 countries across the globe. It found that the use of Crestor was linked to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
In addition, the study found that patients who were prescribed the drug had a higher risk of having high cholesterol, and those with high blood pressure had a higher risk of developing stroke. The researchers said that the drug could help prevent heart attack and stroke.
The drug is not expected to be used in patients who are taking an ARB, as it is known to be more likely to develop serious liver problems.
Crestor has not yet been studied in people with high blood pressure, and the drug is not expected to be used in people who are taking an ARB, as it is known to be more likely to develop serious liver problems.
“This is a very exciting development that could help lower the risk of heart attack and stroke,” Wintraub said. “These two conditions are very different.

They usually are prescribed to treat high LDL (“bad” cholesterol) or “good” cholesterol, but can also be used to treat (e.g., prevent) high HDL (“good” cholesterol).
A class of drugs called statins is used to lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and raise HDL cholesterol. These drugs lower triglycerides and LDL cholesterol independently. They are prescribed to people who have high triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia) or LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol).
