CO-rosuvastatin And Teva-Rosuvastatin. What Is The Difference?

I would like to know the difference between co-rosuvastatin and Teva-rosuvastatin. I was taking Co-rosuvastatin 10mg pnk/rnd/ru10 and my pharmacist filled my recent prescription with teva-rosuvastatin 10mg pnk/rnd/r/113(rph).
Are these meds really interchangeable or should I return these and go to another pharmacy to get the originals?

HI
Thank for choosing HCM, I do not think that there is any difference between these drugs ( Teva-rosuvastatin) and (co-rosuvastatin) the generic contain of these drug would have been same, if you still have question you can ask for the leaflet inserted inside the product box and the read detail, you can easily find every thing in it, have good day.

Hello,
Both the medicines ( co rosuvastatin and teva rosuvastatin ) are same and has rosuvastatin as their salt.
The only difference is the manufacturer.
While co rosuvastatin is being manufactured by cobalt pharmaceutical co,the teva rosuvastatin is manufactured by TEVA of Canada.
You may use either of them.
Thanks
