Works for lowering LDL Has lowered my LDL and triglycerides to acceptable levels. Didn't do much for HDL. No side effects and my liver is fine so far, but I'm fairly young (34) and didn't have terribly high cholesterol to start with.

While on this medication my cholesterol levels decreased from 230 to 126 in about 4 months. However, i would suggest proper diet and following physicians orders to combat high cholesterol.
Was on Lipitor and then Zetia. Both had adverse side effects for me like muscle cramping and weakness. So far, after 3 weeks, no adverse reaction to Crestor.
Used Lipitor 10 years, muscle ache approached severe discomfort, very active guy, Asked for change, Crestor is a good fit, minimal aches, decent numbers. Use Zetia in addition, numbers better. No major discomfort using both. Good combination.
two weeks feel a lot better
this medication i have not notice anything yet i'am still take it more month to come
This medication has worked for me.
This has done an excellent job dropping my cholesterol levels from 216 down to around 130. I don't think I've had any of the side-effects that others have mentioned related to Crestor. I did have some lower back pain last year, but I don't think it had much to do with the drug, which I'd been taking for around a 1/2 year at that point, as with my laziness and lack of regular exercise. Some PT and regular exercise fixed that problem which has not returned since.
this drug work for me there is a but the only change that i have seen is my hair has gotten thin has broke tremendosley on the right side from five inches to one half inche and this is the only drug change that i have had in years thats why i feel that this is where my hair problem is
the medication does what it is supposed to do, but i get muscle cramps in both of my calfs all the time.
