Crestor was first approved by the FDA in 2002. It is a member of a class of drugs called statins.
Crestor (generic name: rosuvastatin) belongs to a class of drugs called statins. This drug has been used to lower your blood pressure and prevent heart attacks and strokes. It works by preventing your body from converting cholesterol into a small amount of "bad" cholesterol.
This cholesterol is formed when a certain enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase converts into another enzyme called iatrogenic LDL, which is then transformed into an enzyme called LDL. This LDL-cholesterol is then broken down by the liver into cholesterol that is then made to carry oxygen and nutrients. By lowering your blood pressure, you are less likely to die, and the risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular problems goes down as well.
