Do the JUPITER findings apply only to Crestor?
Crestor was the only statin drug studied in the JUPITER trial. No similar studies have been completed for other statins. All members of the statin family have similar modes of action. Some experts believe other statins will have benefits similar to those seen for Crestor in people with relatively low cholesterol levels. Crestor is one of the strongest statin drugs in terms of its ability to lower cholesterol, but different patients do better with different statins.
