A doctor has provided 1 answer
See pcp: Z ; ask about ldlparticle exam(liposcience)- your Crestor (rosuvastatin) dose could be increased.250 is considered elevated and therefore risk is increased- - are you over weight? Is there a diabetic history in your family/ these are important risk factors that should be considered.-ie personally have added Zetia to my regimen with good success0- good luck.
