Rosuvastatin is available under various brand names depending on your location. The generic name, rosuvastatin, always indicates the same active ingredient.
In the United States, common brand names include Crestor. Outside the US, other brands exist; availability varies by country. Always check with your pharmacist or doctor for the specific brand names available in your region.
Generic rosuvastatin is usually less expensive than brand-name options. Both generics and brand-name medications undergo rigorous testing to ensure quality and efficacy, so the choice often comes down to cost.
If you have questions about the different formulations or cost comparisons, consult your healthcare provider or a pharmacist. They can offer personalized guidance based on your individual needs and insurance coverage.
Remember to always inform your doctor and pharmacist of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions.
