What is the “import trade name” for rosuvastatin?
Rosuvastatin’s import (brand/trade) names depend on the country and the specific marketing authorization held by each manufacturer. Common brand names used worldwide include Crestor, but the exact “import trade name” for your shipment will vary by jurisdiction and supplier.
If you share the country you’re importing into (or the label/packaging name you’ve been shown), I can narrow it to the correct trade name for that market.
How can I identify the rosuvastatin trade name for a specific import?
To confirm the correct import trade name, check one or more of the following on the product paperwork or packaging:
- The manufacturer/distributor name
- The strength (e.g., 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg)
- The INN (generic) shown as “rosuvastatin” and any salt form (usually rosuvastatin calcium)
- The local brand/trade name printed on the outer carton and blister/label
- The regulatory marketing authorization details (often on customs documents)
Are import trade names different from the generic name?
Yes. “Rosuvastatin” is the generic (INN). The import trade name is the brand label used in the destination market, which may differ even when the active ingredient and strength are the same.
