Is Rosuvastatin The Same As Crestor?

Question: Is resuvastatin exactly the same as Crestor.I have had no side effects with Crestor, but as soon as I started to take resuvastatin I have a bad headache and stomach problems. YYYY@YYYY
Brief Answer:
On paper, they are exactly the same!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
They are exactly the same. However, crestor being a brand name would benefit from better equipment, processes, packaging, etc. than the generic rosuvastatin. This explains why there is a huge difference in the experience. If you are able to continue paying crestor, I will rather recommend that than change it.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
