What does Crestor 10 mg typically cost (and what drives the price)?

Is there a generic for Crestor 10 mg that’s cheaper?
Crestor’s active ingredient is rosuvastatin. In many markets, rosuvastatin is available as a generic, which is usually much cheaper than the brand (especially without insurance).
If your goal is the lowest out-of-pocket cost, the most important step is confirming whether your prescription is for:
- Crestor (brand), or
- rosuvastatin (generic) 10 mg
How can I estimate my out-of-pocket cost quickly?
To estimate what you’ll pay for Crestor 10 mg, use:
- your insurance formulary (brand vs generic tier)
- your pharmacy’s cash price (ask for the “cash price” or “self-pay”)
- any manufacturer coupon or pharmacy discount program (if eligible)
Because prices change often, the fastest path is to call your pharmacy with the exact dose (10 mg) and quantity (usually the number of tablets per 30 days).
If I share details, can you narrow it down?
If you tell me:
1) your country (and zip/postal code if you’re in the US),
2) brand (Crestor) vs generic (rosuvastatin),
3) how many tablets you need (30-day or 90-day supply), and
4) whether you have insurance,
I can help you narrow to a realistic expected range and what to ask the pharmacy for.
