About Rosuvastatin

Rosuvastatin is one of the most potent statins available — the strongest cholesterol lowering of the commonly used members of the class per milligram — and it is increasingly prescribed in Nigeria for people who need to bring high cholesterol down aggressively or who have not reached their target on another statin. It is sold as the original brand Crestor (AstraZeneca) and as more affordable generics such as Rosuvas and Rozat.
