The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the label:
[[Category: Statins]]
 
 
*[[Rhabdomyolysis]] with [[myoglobinuria]] and [[acute renal failure]] and [[myopathy]] (including [[myositis]]) [see Warnings and Precautions(5.1)]
 
*Liver enzyme abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions(5.2)]
 
In the CRESTOR controlled clinical trials database (placebo or active-controlled) of 5394 patients with a mean treatment duration of 15 weeks, 1.4% of patients discontinued due to adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions that led to treatment discontinuation were:
 
 
*myalgia
 
*abdominal pain
 
*nausea
 
The most commonly reported adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 2%) in the CRESTOR controlled clinical trial database of 5394 patients were:
 
 
*headache
 
*myalgia
 
*abdominal pain
 
*asthenia
 
*nausea
 
===Clinical Studies Experience===
 
Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
 
Adverse reactions reported in ≥ 2% of patients in placebo-controlled clinical studies and at a rate greater than placebo are shown in Table 1. These studies had a treatment duration of up to 12 weeks.

Other adverse reactions reported in clinical studies were abdominal pain, [[dizziness]], [[hypersensitivity]] (including [[rash]], [[pruritus]], urticaria, and [[angioedema]]) and [[pancreatitis]]. The following laboratory abnormalities have also been reported: dipstick-positive [[proteinuria]] and microscopic [[hematuria]] [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]; elevated creatine phosphokinase, transaminases, glucose, glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin; and thyroid function abnormalities.
 
In the METEOR study, involving 981 participants treated with rosuvastatin 40 mg (n=700) or placebo (n=281) with a mean treatment duration of 1.7 years, 5.6% of subjects treated with CRESTOR versus 2.8% of placebo-treated subjects discontinued due to adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions that led to treatment discontinuation were: [[myalgia]], hepatic enzyme increased, [[headache]], and [[nausea]] [see Clinical Studies (14.7)].
 
Adverse reactions reported in ≥ 2% of patients and at a rate greater than placebo are shown in Table 2.

Table 2. Adverse Reactions1 Reported in 2% of Patients Treated with CRESTOR and > Placebo in the METEOR Trial (% of Patients)
 
In the JUPITER study, 17,802 participants were treated with rosuvastatin 20 mg (n=8901) or placebo (n=8901) for a mean duration of 2 years. A higher percentage of rosuvastatin-treated patients versus placebo-treated patients, 6.6% and 6.2%, respectively, discontinued study medication due to an adverse event, irrespective of treatment causality. [[Myalgia]] was the most common adverse reaction that led to treatment discontinuation.
 
In JUPITER, there was a significantly higher frequency of [[diabetes mellitus]] reported in patients taking rosuvastatin (2.8%) versus patients taking placebo (2.3%). Mean HbA1c was significantly increased by 0.1% in rosuvastatin-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients. The number of patients with a HbA1c > 6.5% at the end of the trial was significantly higher in rosuvastatin-treated versus placebo-treated patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) and Clinical Studies (14.8)].
 
Adverse reactions reported in ≥ 2% of patients and at a rate greater than placebo are shown in Table 3.

===Pediatric patients 10 to 17 years of age===
 
In a 12-week controlled study in boys and postmenarchal girls, the safety and tolerability profile of CRESTOR 5 to 20 mg daily was generally similar to that of placebo [seeClinical Studies (14.6) and Use in Specific Populations, Pediatric Use (8.4)].
 
However, elevations in serum creatine phosphokinase (CK) > 10 x ULN were observed more frequently in rosuvastatin compared with placebo-treated children. Four of 130 (3%) children treated with rosuvastatin (2 treated with 10 mg and 2 treated with 20 mg) had increased CK >10 x ULN, compared to 0 of 46 children on placebo.
 
===Postmarketing Experience===
 
The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of CRESTOR: [[arthralgia]], fatal and non-fatal hepatic failure, [[hepatitis]], [[jaundice]], [[thrombocytopenia]], [[depression]], [[sleep disorder]]s (including [[insomnia]] and nightmares) and [[gynecomastia]]. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
 
There have been rare reports of immune-mediated necrotizing [[myopathy]] associated with [[statin]] use [seeWarnings and Precautions (5.1)].
 
There have been rare postmarketing reports of cognitive impairment (e.g., memory loss, forgetfulness, [[amnesia]], memory impairment, [[confusion]]) associated with [[statin ]]use. These cognitive issues have been reported for all [[statin]]s. The reports are generally nonserious, and reversible upon statin discontinuation, with variable times to symptom onset (1 day to years) and symptom resolution (median of 3 weeks).<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = CRESTOR (ROSUVASTATIN CALCIUM) TABLET, FILM COATED [ASTRAZENECA PHARMACEUTICALS LP] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=bb0f3b5e-4bc6-41c9-66b9-6257e2513512 | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 17 February 2014 }}</ref>
