CRESTOR belongs to a group of medicines called statins. It is used to correct the levels of fatty substances in the blood called lipids, the most common of which is cholesterol. There are different types of cholesterol found in the blood- bad cholesterol (LDL-C) and good cholesterol ( HDL-C). CRESTOR can reduce the bad and increase the good cholesterol. CRESTOR works by helping to block your body's production of bad cholesterol and improves your body's ability to remove it from your blood. You need to keep taking CRESTOR, even if it has got your cholesterol levels to the right level, because it prevents your cholesterol levels from creeping up again. However, you should stop if your doctor tells you to do so or you have become pregnant.

For some people, high cholesterol does not affect the way they feel because it does not product any symptoms. However, if it left untreated, fatty deposits can build up in the walls of your blood vessels causing them to narrow. Sometimes, these narrowed vessels can get blocked which can cut off the blood supply to the heart or brains leading to a heart attack.
