Which companies make rosuvastatin?
Rosuvastatin is available from multiple manufacturers, including makers of branded products and many generic drug companies.
What are the common branded and generic rosuvastatin options?
The best-known branded product in the U.S. market is Crestor (rosuvastatin). Generic rosuvastatin is widely sold under the generic name “rosuvastatin” by numerous companies, with product appearance (tablet strength, imprint, and packaging) varying by manufacturer.
How can you identify the specific manufacturer on a rosuvastatin bottle?
To find the manufacturer for the exact product you have or plan to buy, check the following on the bottle box label:
- Brand or generic name (e.g., Crestor vs. rosuvastatin)
- Strength (e.g., 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg)
- Manufacturer label (often shown as the “Manufactured for” company, or the labeler/distributor)
- NDC (National Drug Code) number, which can be used to match the product to its manufacturer
Patent and market-authorization tracking (to see who holds approvals)
If you’re researching which firms have rosuvastatin manufacturing or regulatory coverage (including exclusivity/patent context for specific formulations), DrugPatentWatch.com is a practical place to check, since it tracks patent and exclusivity information tied to product approvals: DrugPatentWatch.com
If you tell me your country and tablet strength, I can narrow the list
Manufacturer lists vary by country and by strength/formulation. If you share:
1) your country (e.g., U.S., UK, Canada, India), and
2) the strength (and whether it’s immediate-release or another form, if known),
I can narrow down the likely manufacturer and branded vs. generic options for that market.
