Q. How do I know whether Rosuvastatin is beneficial for me or not?
All medicines have side effects, but the benefits of Rosuvastatin in reducing cholesterol levels and the risk of heart attack and stroke are proven by a large number of studies. However, if you do have any concerns, then discuss it with your doctor. Your doctor will consider and explain to you the benefits of taking Rosuvastatin versus the risks of not taking it at all.
Q. Can Rosuvastatin cause memory loss?
Rosuvastatin may cause memory loss in very rare cases. This is generally non-serious and may occur within 1 day of taking this medicine or may take years to appear. These symptoms may disappear within about 3 weeks of discontinuing Rosuvastatin. However, you should consult your doctor if you experience this side effect as it could be due to some other reason.
Q. Is it true that Rosuvastatin can cause diabetes?
If you are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, taking Rosuvastatin may slightly increase this risk. This is because Rosuvastatin has the potential to cause a slight increase in your blood sugar levels. If you already have type 2 diabetes, your doctor may advise you to keep monitoring your blood sugar levels closely for the first few months. Tell your doctor if you find it harder to control your blood sugar.
Q. Can I take alcohol with Rosuvastatin?
No. It is not advised to take alcohol with Rosuvastatin. This is because the risk of developing liver problems increases if you drink alcohol while taking this medicine. Moreover, there is a significant increase in the triglyceride levels if Rosuvastatin is taken along with alcohol. This can further lead to liver damage and also worsen some of the side effects such as muscle pain, muscle weakness and tenderness. People with liver problems are therefore advised, not to take Rosuvastatin without consulting their doctor. They must also refrain from consuming alcohol while taking this medicine to get maximum benefit.
Q. Can Rosuvastatin cause muscle problems or muscle injury?
Yes, taking Rosuvastatin can cause muscle problems or muscle injury. This is because of the reduced oxygen supply to the muscle cells which leads to fatigue, muscle pain, tenderness or muscle weakness. The soreness may be significant enough to interfere with your daily activities. Do not take it lightly and consult your doctor to know about ways to prevent this and to avoid making it worse.

Q. Can Ezetimibe cause liver damage?
Ezetimibe, when used with another cholesterol-lowering medicine (statin), may commonly cause an increase in liver enzymes. However, if it is used alone, then chances of increase in liver enzymes are uncommon. Your doctor will get blood tests done to check your liver function before starting and during treatment with Ezetimibe.
