They are pretty amazing, however, Rosuvastatin can have some variability of how well it reduces cholesterol. Generally speaking---easy literature search that 10mg of Crestor will hopefully reduce LDL as a mean of 46-49% if lucky. Mine was reduce by 76% from baseline. So even if I low balled it...diet/exercise probably had to account for about 20+%...that is not bad. Also, rule of thumb with Crestor even if the dose was doubled to 20mg, most studies show only a further decrease of about 6%. It would be nice if doubling reduced LDL by the same margin as the 1st 10mg dose. The true test will be 3 months from now when I do bloodwork again.

I am also a believe a pill or pills is not the silver bullet...it needs to be combined with other positive changes to have a long term good outcome. I do wonder if having such a low TC is good though...not a lot of discussion around this and what literature does exist is very vague....I don't think medicine totally knows yet.
