Rosuvastatin Dosing: Summary
Remember that
lowering cholesterol
begins with lifestyle changes (weight loss, diet, and exercise). If lifestyle changes alone do not
lower cholesterol
to a desirable level,
cholesterol medication
, such as
rosuvastatin
, may be necessary. However, when people are taking
cholesterol
medication, lifestyle changes are still important for maintaining a
good cholesterol level
.
If you are unsure about anything related to rosuvastatin or rosuvastatin dosing, please talk with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Do not stop taking rosuvastatin without first discussing it with your healthcare provider.
