Crestor is a brand name for the drug Rosuvastatin, which is used to lower cholesterol levels in the body. The patent for Crestor expired in 2016, which allowed other pharmaceutical companies to produce and sell generic versions of the drug. Rosuvastatin is now available as a generic medication, which is significantly less expensive than the brand-name version [1][2]. GoodRx reports that the average retail price for a 30-day supply of Rosuvastatin is $11.36, which is considerably lower than the average retail price of Crestor, which is $323.05 [2]. The generic version of Rosuvastatin is available in various dosages and forms, including tablets and capsules, and is sold under different brand names [3]. Patients who are prescribed Rosuvastatin can ask their healthcare provider or pharmacist for information on the available generic options and choose the one that best suits their needs and budget.
