Hey
everyone, I hope all is well. This is Justin B Terry-Smith and I will have to
go on Rosuvastatin AKA Crestor. My cholesterol is high and family genetics for
me plays a big role. Through the years I’ve
always had an issue with it since the age of 10. Well now that I’m older it has gotten harder
to get it down to a safe level. My
doctor has prescribed on Rosuvastatin AKA Crestor in November of this year. My cholesterol
levels have gone up and down throughout the years, but recently it’s been
harder to get control over.

I personally
was a little uncomfortable to take new medication because one never knows how new
medication will affect one’s body. I have only had one side effect and that was
a little bit of dizziness but that was the only one. Here are some side effects that some of you
may feel headache, muscle pain, abdominal, pain, weakness, nausea, dizziness, hypersensitivity
reactions (including rash, pruritus, hives, and swelling), and. pancreatitis.
I’ll be
going to my doctor in a month to see if the on Rosuvastatin AKA Crestor has
worked, please wish me luck. Here is more information on Rosuvastatin AKA Crestor.
