What to do if you take Rosuvastatin creatine kinase is elevated

Mild elevations of creatine kinase on Rosuvastatin can be continued with regular rechecks. If the elevation is severe, you will need to stop taking the medication or change to another medication. Most creatine kinase elevations caused by taking Rosuvastatin are mild and transient, so you can continue to take the product and have your blood creatine kinase checked every three months. If the elevation of creatine kinase is greater than five times or more, you will need to stop taking the product and continue until it improves. Or replace it with ezetimibe, which has very little effect on creatine kinase. However, regular review of creatine kinase is also needed. It is recommended that patients with hyperlipidemia or people with high risk factors who need to take statins should use the medication appropriately under the guidance of a doctor, and consult a doctor if there is any discomfort.
