Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
In the past I took Niacin and developed bags under my eyes. My DR said to stop taking the Niacin and the bags went away. That was several years ago. My new DR just put me on Crestor and now I have a bag under my right eye. Could the Crestor be causing that?
Usually not. Under eye bags are not usual side effect of it. Rosuvastatin is used together with a proper diet to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and muscle problem called rhabdomyolysis( which can cause kidney problems) is the most reported side effect.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH
