Controlling the amount of cholesterol in the body will help prevent a considerable number of diseases and will ensure good health.

- magnesium stearate;
- crospovidone;
- anhydrous lactose;
- anhydrous colloidal silica dioxide;

What is better - Roxer, Atoris or Krestor?
Despite the fact that Roxera is considered to be an effective and safe drug, for some reason the medicine is not suitable for everyone. Such patients require similar medications. Atoris and Krestor became the most popular analogues of the Rockers. The principle of action of these drugs is almost identical. The main difference is in the composition.
The main active substance in Roxer and Krestor is rosuvastine. That is, these drugs are almost identical. They differ from the manufacturer, and accordingly, and at the price - the Crestor is much more expensive. Some patients note that Krestor acts more quickly, but this largely depends on the characteristics of the body, complexion, diagnosis.
As part of another analogue of Roxer - tablets Atoris - atorvastatin. Atoris is approximately in the same price category as Roxer, but it is slightly slower, so doctors prefer to prescribe it as a preventive measure and to treat diseases that are in the initial stages.
In practice, it is only the experimental method that helps to determine which drug works better in one or another case. It often happens that some drugs are ideal for someone, but for someone they do not act perfectly.
