Using Crestor to lower cholesterol

The active ingredient in Crestor is rosuvastatin. This drug effectively inhibits a specific enzyme which is responsible for acting as a catalyst in the formation of cholesterol in the liver. Without this enzyme, the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver is much more difficult.
