Rosuvastatin Side Effects

Medication limits levels of harmful triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood bringing out good cholesterol.

Musculoskeletal Side Effects

HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors that are used to treat rare cases of rhabdomyolysis and myopathy, increases proteinuria, creatine kinase, renal failure or myoglobinuria. The symptoms of medication side effects are: sensitivity, muscle pain or weakness. Development of symptoms includes elevation and measured creatine kinase. In such case, Rosuvastatin should be aborted too.
