Crestor: Crestor Side Effects

Crestor Side Effects

Crestor may cause rare, but serious, side effects including:

  • Muscle Damage, which can lead to kidney damage. Crestor should be used with caution if you have kidney problems, advanced age, and hypothyroidism, because of the greater risk of muscle damage. Tell your healthcare professional if you develop unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness while on Crestor, particularly if accompanied by malaise or fever.
  • Liver Damage. Your healthcare professional may do blood tests to check your liver before you start taking Crestor, and while you take it. Crestor should be used with caution if you have a history of liver disease or drink substantial amounts of alcohol.

Other side effects from Crestor use include:

  • Muscle pain
  • Constipation
  • Weakness
  • Abdominal pain
  • Nausea

If you are taking Crestor or any other statin drug and develop signs and symptoms of muscle pain and weakness, fever, dark urine, nausea or vomiting, you should contact your healthcare professional immediately
