Usual dose of crestor (rosuvastatin) for 90yo with mild elevation of bp and renal damage, high good and bad cholesterol, prior stroke?

Unnecessary: At age 90 it is unclear that the benefits of Crestor (rosuvastatin) outweigh the risk. Discuss the need for cholesterol medication with your doctor.

Crestor (rosuvastatin) Stroke: To a 90 old, who has paid her dues, with hypertension, hyperlipidemia & stroke. I feel, there is no need to give crestor (rosuvastatin). There is more risk than benefit. Crestor (rosuvastatin) dose is also adjusted with kidney function. No crestor (rosuvastatin), to this patient.
