Bruises On Body. Taking Crestor. Suggestion?
I have been taking Crestor for 3 months and just this past week I have developed several bruises on my body. I bumped into furniture leaving bruises on my legs. I had bloodworm leaving another. A bracelet watch left another. Another large bruise appeared and I don't know where that came from. Now a small bruise has come up on my leg. I see my Dr. This coming week but I am concerned.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Crestor is a lipid lowering drug.
Although it doesnot appears a drug reaction,
But any drug including lipid lowering agents can cause damage to platelets and hence bruises.
You can apply oint thrombophobe.
A change in doses might be required.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
