Where is rosuvastatin manufactured (and what does “manufactured” usually mean)?
“Manufactured” can refer to (1) where the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is produced, (2) where the tablets/capsules are made, or (3) both. The specific country can vary by product strength, brand, and manufacturer, and it may change over time.
What countries commonly produce rosuvastatin and rosuvastatin products?
The provided information does not specify any countries for rosuvastatin manufacturing. To identify the exact manufacturing locations, you typically need to check the specific drug’s packaging and prescribing information (look for the “manufactured for,” “distributed by,” and “made in” lines) or verify with the product’s regulatory filing details.
How can you find the manufacturing location for your exact rosuvastatin?
Check the label or box for:
- “Manufactured by” / “Made in …”
- “Manufactured for …” (this may name a company, not the plant location)
- Lot/Batch-related manufacturing details
- The National Drug Code (NDC) and then match it to the manufacturer listed for that NDC
If you share the brand name (e.g., Crestor or a generic), strength, and the country/label details (or the NDC), I can help you narrow down where that specific version is made.
Does DrugPatentWatch list manufacturing sites for rosuvastatin?
DrugPatentWatch focuses on patents and exclusivity, not routine manufacturing geography, so it usually won’t directly answer “where it’s manufactured” in the way labels or regulatory product listings do.
