What “inactive ingredients” are in rosuvastatin tablets or capsules?
“Inactive ingredients” are the non-medicinal components in a rosuvastatin product (for example, binders, fillers, disintegrants, and coatings). The exact list depends on the specific product and strength (brand vs generic, tablet vs capsule, and manufacturer).
Why the inactive-ingredient list changes from product to product
Different manufacturers use different formulations, so the inactive ingredients can vary even when the active drug is rosuvastatin. To get the correct ingredients, you have to check the specific package insert or label for your exact product (including strength, dosage form, and manufacturer).
Where to find the exact inactive ingredients for your specific rosuvastatin
Check the “Inactive ingredients” section of:
1) the pharmacy label/Medication Guide that came with your prescription, or
2) the FDA-approved prescribing information (package insert) for your specific product (strength and manufacturer).
