The FDA also said that it is working with the manufacturers of Lipitor and other related products to ensure that people using the cholesterol drug receive the appropriate treatment.
A spokeswoman for Crestor, Lisa Carnahan, said that “the FDA has taken the necessary steps to assure that the safety and efficacy of this medication has not been compromised.”
The FDA said that its latest review of Lipitor has found it to be the most effective treatment for cholesterol-related high blood pressure.

For patients who are unable to manage their cholesterol with diet and exercise, statins are a crucial component of their management plan. They regulate levels of LDL-cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Rosuvastatin (Crestor), a statin, is approved for the treatment of patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FHHD). It lowers LDL-cholesterol levels by reducing the amount of LDL cholesterol. In patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, Crestor reduces the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease compared to LDL-cholesterol treatment alone. The generic version, rosuvastatin calcium (Crestor CRO) is an oral medication commonly prescribed for patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
