Crestor (Rosuvastatin) is a prescription medication used to lower cholesterol levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, particularly those with high-risk cholesterol, high triglycerides, high LDL (fattydensity cholesterol), and high triglycerides, among other factors. It is prescribed as a statin drug.
