Yes. Crestor (rosuvastatin) is still on the market in 2024. It’s a statin used to lower LDL cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk. In many places you can find it as the brand Crestor and also as generic rosuvastatin. Key points: - Availability: Brand Crestor is available in many markets; generic rosuvastatin is widely available (often at a lower cost) in the US and globally. - Typical dosing: usually 5–10 mg once daily to start, up to a maximum of 40 mg once daily. Dose is adjusted by your clinician based on your goals and response. - Who should avoid or use with caution: pregnancy or breastfeeding (contraindicated), active liver disease, and caution in kidney impairment or Asian ancestry (who may have higher blood levels of the drug). Always follow your doctor’s guidance. - Common side effects: headache, muscle pain, nausea, weakness. Serious but rare: significant muscle breakdown (myopathy/rhabdomyolysis) and liver enzyme elevations. - Monitoring: lipid panel usually checked after 4–12 weeks to adjust dose; liver enzymes may be monitored in some people. If you tell me your country or region, I can confirm current availability and typical pricing, or answer any specific questions (like interactions or dosing for a particular condition).
