Hi Taking Crestor,
Yes, statin medications are usually most effective if taken prior to bed; however, discuss with your physician to determine what's appropriate for your treatment plan.

Definitely contact your physician before making any adjustments to the timing of your cholesterol medications. Your physician knows your full health history and is able to make an appropriate recommendation.
