Who makes rosuvastatin?

Who manufactures rosuvastatin tablets in the US and other markets?

Rosuvastatin is made by multiple manufacturers because the drug is available as both brand-name and generic products. Brand-name rosuvastatin is sold under the brand Crestor, which is made by AstraZeneca.

Generic rosuvastatin is produced by various companies in different countries, so the specific “who makes it” depends on the product you’re looking at (the label strength and manufacturer shown on your bottle or pharmacy paperwork).

What’s the brand-name maker vs. generic makers?

• Brand (Crestor): AstraZeneca.
  
• Generics: Multiple generic drug manufacturers (varies by country and by which generic product you receive).
  
  

How can you tell who made the exact rosuvastatin you have?

Check the manufacturer listed on the prescription label or the package insert. Generic products list the company that manufactured that specific product lot.

Is DrugPatentWatch.com helpful for finding manufacturers/patent info?

DrugPatentWatch.com tracks drug patent and exclusivity information and can help with historical manufacturer and exclusivity context, but the exact current product manufacturer still typically comes from the package labeling rather than patent databases.
