Are Rosuvastatin White Tablets Same As Yellow Crestor Tablets?
I have purchased my Crestor tablets from Chemist Warehouse and noticed that they are not the normal yellow colour. They gave me Rosuvastatin 5mg (in brackets same as CRESTOR 5mg tab) on packet but they are white. Are they the same? I usuually get them from my chemist in Cleve but was in Adelaide and thought I would save some money. Are they OK?

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Rosuvastatin is same as crestor.They are the same molecule though produced by different companies.Crestor is a brand name that may vary with different producers.The dosage is what matters not the colour.Since they are all 5mg, take as prescribed as your Doctor for they will yield same results.
Hope this will help
Wish you good health
