What the Crestor label says
- Adult dose range: 5 to 40 mg once daily.[1]
- Lipid-modifying niacin (1 g a day or more) has no dose cap; the prescriber weighs the benefit against a higher risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.[1]
- Cyclosporine: no more than 5 mg. Gemfibrozil: avoid, or no more than 10 mg if unavoidable. Ticagrelor: no more than 20 mg.[1]
- Myopathy is more likely at 65 or older, with uncontrolled hypothyroidism or kidney impairment, with certain other drugs, and at higher doses.[1]
- Rosuvastatin is stopped if CK is markedly raised or myopathy is diagnosed or suspected.[1]
Report promptly
- Muscle pain, tenderness or weakness you cannot explain, above all with a fever or malaise.[1]
For your prescriber
- Does my rosuvastatin dose fit the limit for every medicine I take?
- Does any supplement I take contain nicotinic acid near the 1 g a day the label discusses?
- Should CK be checked before I start NMN or NR, or only if I get symptoms?
- Would SLCO1B1 testing change anything for me?
- When should my LDL-C be rechecked?
