Is creator a good med for lowering triglicerdies?

It can, but: Crestor (rosuvastatin) will have some effect on triglycerides, but it is mainly started for LDL cholesterol. The fibrates, such as Fenofibrate or gemfibrozil, are more specific for triglycerides if this is your primary abnormality.

Statins: Statins are a type of medicine used to treat high cholesterol. These medicines block an enzyme the body needs to produce cholesterol, thereby lowering the total amount of it in the blood. Statins, also known as hmg-coa reductase inhibitors, help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Along with reducing cholesterol levels in the blood, statins reduce inflammation.
