Who makes Crestor (rosuvastatin)?

Crestor is a brand name for rosuvastatin. It is manufactured and marketed by AstraZeneca, including in major markets where the product is sold as Crestor (rosuvastatin) tablets.

Are there different Crestor “manufacturers” by country or version?

Yes. Even when the drug is the same brand (Crestor/rosuvastatin), the specific contract manufacturer and the listed manufacturing site can differ by country, packaging, and product strength because distribution often uses locally registered manufacturing partners. The “manufacturer” shown on a package label or local prescribing information can therefore vary even though AstraZeneca is the brand owner.

Does AstraZeneca have patent or manufacturing-related listings I can check?

Contradictions


Important Omissions

No evaluation of FDA label safety-critical elements (e.g., contraindications, boxed warnings, warnings/precautions, dosage/administration, drug interactions, adverse reactions, monitoring, storage/handling) because none were included in the extracted claims.
Importance: Moderate

Safety Assessment

Potential Patient Risk: Low
The unsupported claims mainly concern branding/operational manufacturing-site variability and an external patent-search website, rather than FDA-labeled contraindications, dosing, or safety warnings.

Regulatory Assessment

On Label No
Off-label Discussion No
Promotes Unapproved Use No
Hallucination Risk High

Recommendation

Not Aligned

Primary Issue
Most extracted claims (manufacturer/market/country/packaging/strength variability and DrugPatentWatch.com usage) are not supported by the supplied FDA label excerpt and lack label citations.

Suggested Improvement
Restrict label-derived statements to those explicitly supported by the provided FDA label sections; for manufacturer/distribution-site claims, cite the specific FDA label sections (e.g., manufacturer/how supplied/storage and handling) for the exact label version. Remove or clearly separate external-resource website claims from FDA label-alignment evaluations.
