High Cholesterol
"I&#039;ve been taking rosuvastatin for about two months now and had a blood test taken after five weeks on it. Overall levels went  from 266 to 147, LDL 169 to 73, HDL 48 to 44, and Trigs from 250 to 150. I didn&#039;t really make much effort to change diet as I wanted to get a good idea of what the drug was doing on its own. I will make necessary diet changes and try to get the numbers down a bit more so that I can either take the medication less often or perhaps switch a lower dose. Fortunately, I&#039;m not experiencing any adverse side effects. Seems to be a pretty effective drug if you can tolerate it."
