Diet and exercise are an excellent first step to lower cholesterol. However, adding CRESTOR (rosuvastatin calcium) to a healthy diet has been proven to cut bad cholesterol in half. CRESTOR can even raise good cholesterol.
Details: CRESTOR (rosuvastatin calcium) is a prescription medicine used to treat high cholesterol. It belongs to a group of medicines called statins that lower cholesterol.
Sometimes, people resist taking medicine to lower their cholesterol because they think all they need is willpower. They think if they just cut a little more fat out of their diet, and make it to the gym once more each week, that should do it. But studies have shown that, for many people, diet and exercise don't lower cholesterol enough. One reason is that most of the cholesterol in our blood is made right inside our bodies, by the liver.
And that's where CRESTOR works. It lowers the amount of cholesterol produced by the liver. CRESTOR can cut the bad cholesterol by about half (52% at the 10-mg dose versus 7% with placebo; your results may vary).
