About this product

Overview

Crestat 20mg Tablet contains rosuvastatin as its active ingredient. Rosuvastatin belongs to a class of medications known as statins, which are used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. It works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a key role in the production of cholesterol in the liver. By reducing cholesterol production, rosuvastatin helps lower LDL cholesterol (often referred to as “bad” cholesterol) and triglycerides, while increasing HDL cholesterol (“good” cholesterol) levels.

Uses

Crestat 20mg Tablet is prescribed for the following purposes:

  • Management of hypercholesterolemia: Crestat is used to treat high levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.
  • Prevention of cardiovascular events: Lowering cholesterol levels with Crestat may help prevent the progression of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

Side Effects

Common side effects associated with Crestat 20mg Tablet may include:

  • Headache
  • Muscle pain or weakness
  • Abdominal pain
  • Constipation

These side effects are usually mild and transient. However, if you experience severe or persistent side effects, notify your healthcare provider.

  • Inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking before starting Crestat therapy.
