AstraZeneca has announced the launch of a new version of the cholesterol-lowering drug Crestor (rosuvastatin calcium) in the US market. This new formulation, called CRESTOR, combines the active ingredient rosuvastatin with a lipid-lowering drug. The new Crestor formulation is now available without a prescription, and is available in the US.
The company is also introducing a generic version of CRESTOR that is expected to be sold in the US in the next few weeks. CRESTOR is indicated for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
“This new formulation is a new addition to the already-existing statin drugs available in the US market,” said AstraZeneca’s president, Dr. Andrew Wiles. “We look forward to further developing this formulation, and will work closely with our global partner, Pfizer, to develop a safe and effective treatment for patients using this medication.”
AstraZeneca said it was pleased to launch CRESTOR, as well as the new formulation, in the US market.
The company had hoped that CRESTOR would be an affordable alternative to the statins already prescribed for adults, but has been facing growing competition from generic competitors.
“Given the strong competition from generic manufacturers, AstraZeneca’s development of CRESTOR is progressing well, and will continue to be a significant step forward,” said Wiles. “We look forward to the launch of this innovative formulation in the US market soon.”
The company also announced a new “Priced By” program for AstraZeneca’s product, which will offer eligible patients access to CRESTOR for up to six months, and a “Specialty Plan” which will help reduce the cost of the drug. A special plan will be created for patients who have insurance coverage that is not available in the US.
The company is pleased to announce that the PBM program is now available for patients, who may have insurance coverage that is not covered by their insurance.
“We are proud to be able to offer this innovative, affordable, low cost option to our patients,” said Wiles. “PBM will help reduce the out-of-pocket cost of CRESTOR by providing more affordable and effective generic versions of this medication.”
AstraZeneca has been facing challenges with generic manufacturers in the US in the past, with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) limiting its approval of generic versions of Crestor. AstraZeneca’s recent launch has prompted generic manufacturers to review the FDA’s decision to allow their generic versions to be made available in the US.
“We are pleased to be working with Pfizer to develop a safe and effective statin drug,” said Wiles. “We look forward to working closely with their global partner, AstraZeneca, to develop this formulation and will continue to make this development available in the US market at the earliest opportunity.”
AstraZeneca CEO Andrew WilesAbout Crestor
Crestor, developed by AstraZeneca, is indicated for the treatment of elevated cholesterol in adults. It works by blocking the enzyme that produces cholesterol in the liver, leading to a lowering of blood cholesterol levels.
The company believes that Crestor should be used only in patients who are at risk of developing certain diseases, and has been recommending it since at least 2011. Crestor is also indicated for patients with liver disease. The company has had several trials with Crestor for more than 10 years and expects to make the drug more affordable.
About AstraZeneca

It is one of the world’s leading prescription pharmaceutical companies, and its global sales account for an astounding 43% of the global healthcare spend on healthcare. As a leader in healthcare, AstraZeneca is well-known for its innovation, leadership and product lineup.
As a member of the Big Pharma Healthcare Manufacturers’ Association (BHPSA), AstraZeneca is a one-stop shop for healthcare professionals, patients and the general public. As a member of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers’ Association (PBMA), AstraZeneca is known for its leadership in manufacturing, supply chain and research and development of prescription pharmaceuticals. In addition, the company is one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors.
On Friday, AstraZeneca will expand its portfolio of blockbuster drugs by one-two punch. Its blockbuster cholesterol drug Crestor, for example, will be the first of its kind to reach the U. S. market and is expected to generate $6 billion in annual sales by 2020.
Crestor, which has been on the market for two decades, has made a name for itself in the world of statins. Crestor works by blocking an enzyme that is crucial for cholesterol production. This can lead to a reduction in LDL cholesterol levels.
Crestor has been on the market since it was introduced in the late 1990s, and was approved by the FDA in 1999. AstraZeneca is now the second-largest drugmaker in the U. and is projected to generate $13.7 billion in annual revenue by 2020. The company expects to sell around 10 billion dollars a year in sales.
Crestor’s launch is a testament to the company’s strength in the statin drug space. It has already sold its blockbuster Lipitor, a cholesterol-reducing medication. AstraZeneca’s Crestor, for instance, generated $5.1 billion in sales in the U. in 2009, and is already selling its second-biggest-selling drug, Lipitor, in the U.
Crestor is one of many drugs that are gaining popularity in the world of statins. A recent study in theAnnals of Internal Medicineshowed that patients with high cholesterol levels are twice as likely to die from heart disease as those with low cholesterol. That study found that patients with elevated LDL cholesterol had twice the death rate from heart disease than patients with normal levels of LDL cholesterol.
The FDA approved Crestor for its use in the treatment of high cholesterol, but it is estimated that some patients will also die due to cardiovascular disease.
AstraZeneca also has a portfolio of other blockbuster drugs. AstraZeneca is one of the first drugmakers to expand into the world of drugs for which the FDA approved a new drug.
“AstraZeneca is an exciting new company in the world of statin drug development,” said John Vathme, president and chief executive officer of AstraZeneca. “We are a new company with a rich history in drug development.”
Crestor is the first statin drug to win FDA approval in the U. and is one of the company’s most successful drugs.
Crestor is a top-selling product, and AstraZeneca has made a name for itself in the world of drug development. In 2011, the company launched its first drug, Lipitor, a cholesterol-lowering drug for the treatment of high blood pressure. In 2013, Crestor was the second-biggest selling drug in the U. market.
AstraZeneca, with a market share of around 30 percent, is expected to generate $5.1 billion in sales by 2020. The company is based in Philadelphia and has a research and development budget of $10.6 billion.
Crestor has already received approval from the FDA for its use in the treatment of elevated cholesterol. AstraZeneca has been testing Crestor in patients with high cholesterol for more than a decade. The company has been testing its use in patients with high cholesterol since it was launched in the late 1990s. The FDA approved Crestor for its use in the treatment of high cholesterol in 2003, and was approved by the FDA in 2006.
“AstraZeneca is a company with strong historical, financial standing in the world of statin drug development,” Vathme said. “We are building on our successes and expanding our pipeline. We are pleased to see this company’s growth and are excited to see its future in the world of drug development.”
Crestor is a top-selling product in the U. S., with $4.2 billion in sales in 2010.
Crestor is the brand name for the drug rosuvastatin. It is used to lower cholesterol and increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood. It has been found to be effective in reducing elevated cholesterol levels and lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes in adults and children. Crestor is also used to lower the risk of developing a type of cancer known as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Rosuvastatin belongs to a group of drugs known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, which are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and other conditions. It is also used in the treatment of high cholesterol (the number of healthy cholesterol cells in a human body).
Crestor is a prescription drug. You are required to have an annual medical check-up to make sure that you are not allergic to rosuvastatin or any other ingredients.
