How long has rosuvastatin been on the market?

Rosuvastatin first received approval and entered the market in the early 2000s. It has been available for roughly two decades, with broad clinical use starting after its initial launch (around 2003–2004).

When did approval and launch happen?

Rosuvastatin’s marketed availability traces back to its initial brand launch timeline in the early 2000s, after regulatory approval in major markets.

Has it been generic yet—and what does that imply about time on the market?

Because rosuvastatin is now widely available as a generic in many countries, it has moved well past the original exclusivity window that typically follows early-2000s brand launch. That generic availability is consistent with the drug being on the market for about 20+ years.
