Question: What is Crestor?
Answer: Crestor is a prescription drug given to patients with dangerously high cholesterol. It’s purpose is to lower cholesterol, and it works by inhibiting, or slowing down the body’s production of an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. The name of this enzyme isn’t so important; but the effect of reducing it in the body is. When this enzyme is lowered, the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood is reduced. LDL is the the so-called “bad” cholesterol. When that goes down, that’s good. Crestor is reported to be generally pretty effective. Unfortunately, though, Crestor’s good results carry a big risk—bigger than for similar drugs like Lipitor and Zocor, which are also very effective. In other videos in this series, I’ll talk about some of the major health problems that Crestor can cause.
