Crestor - Overview

Crestor is a medication used in the management of a variety of lipid disorders, including some conditions that lead to high cholesterol. People who need a Crestor medication prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe Crestor medication, including generic Crestor 10 mg, Crestor 20 mg and Crestor 5 mg tablets, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Crestor Used For?

Crestor prescription medication contains the ingredient rosuvastatin calcium. Crestor, like atorvastatin (Lipitor), ezetimibe (Zetia), pitavastatin (Livalo), pravastatin (Pravachol) and simvastatin (Zocor), belongs to a class of medications known as statins that works as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. As this type of medication, Crestor blocks the actions of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-controlling step in a metabolic process that produces mevalonic acid and leads to the synthesis of cholesterol. Because of this, Crestor medication is indicated for use in people with hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and other types of lipid disorders.

Crestor - Dosage and Price

Crestor prescription medication is available as Crestor 5 mg tablets, Crestor 10 mg tablets, Crestor 20 mg tablets, and Crestor 40 mg tablets. After oral administration, Crestor is not actively metabolized by the body and the majority of the drug is found bound to proteins in the plasma. Plasma levels tend to peak within 5 hours after oral administration of Crestor medication. Crestor's active ingredients are primarily removed from the body through the liver and typically have an elimination half-life of under one day. Branded Crestor tablets are expensive, costing $9 or more per Crestor 20 mg tablet at many pharmacies in the United States. Some insurance plans may cover costs associated with a Crestor medication prescription when applicable. Crestor coupons may also be available online or using a copay card. Crestor tablets are usually stored at room temperature but consult the package insert for exact instructions.

Can I Buy Crestor Online?
