Benefits
When my M.D. told me she wanted me to try Crestor prescription, to reduce my stubborn high cholesterol I was a little hesitant. I had read several reviews about the side effects (muscle pain, legs not working) and had a few concerns. I cautiously agreed to try it. After the second week, I started getting mild cramps in both calves. The M.D. suggested drinking tonic water, which I did, but the cramps continued. So I decided to take half of the dose (5mg). The cramps stopped. At my next appointment, the M.D told me my cholesterol dropped from 340 to 280. I haven’t told her that I cut the dose.
