About this product
Overview
Crescor 20mg Tablet contains rosuvastatin as its active ingredient.
Description
Crescor tablets contain rosuvastatin, a medication belonging to the class of drugs known as statins. Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a crucial role in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, rosuvastatin helps lower blood cholesterol levels.
Uses
Crescor tablets are prescribed to manage high cholesterol levels in the blood. They are used to lower total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (commonly referred to as “bad” cholesterol), triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B levels, while increasing HDL cholesterol (referred to as “good” cholesterol) levels. Lowering cholesterol levels can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular events in patients at risk.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Crescor may include headache, muscle pain, weakness, abdominal pain, constipation, nausea, and diarrhea. Rare but serious side effects may include liver problems (manifested by yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or persistent abdominal pain), muscle problems (such as unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness), and allergic reactions.
Precautions
Patients taking Crescor should undergo regular monitoring of liver function tests, as statins can rarely cause liver injury. It is important to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking Crescor, as it may increase the risk of liver problems. Additionally, Crescor should be used with caution in patients with a history of liver disease or heavy alcohol use.
When Not to Use
Crescor tablets should not be used in patients with active liver disease or unexplained persistent elevations in liver function tests. They should also be avoided in pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as in patients with hypersensitivity to rosuvastatin or any other component of the formulation.
