?higher dose needed: If your LDL is not at goal you may need a higher dose of Crestor (rosuvastatin) again. Your physician or cardiologist is the best person to advise you and review your diet as well. Some patients have to add medications like zetia, with proper lab follow up, as well to attain the right LDL levels.
