How much does Crestor (rosuvastatin) cost?
Crestor’s price depends on the dose (5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg), the pharmacy, and whether you’re buying the brand drug or a generic rosuvastatin. Because the price can change frequently, you’ll usually need to check current local pharmacy pricing or an online pharmacy listing.
Is Crestor still available as a brand, or is there a cheaper generic?
Crestor is the brand name for rosuvastatin. In most markets, generic rosuvastatin is typically much cheaper than the brand version, so the “price of Crestor” can vary a lot depending on whether you’re specifically purchasing the branded product.
What’s a practical way to get the exact current price?
If you want the most accurate number for your location and dosage, check:
- Your pharmacy’s website or app (often shows cash price vs insurance price)
- Major online pharmacy listings for your specific strength and quantity
- Drug price tracking resources (useful for seeing brand vs generic ranges)
