Starez Adverse Reactions

The most frequent adverse effects thought to be related to rosuvastatin include myalgia, constipation, asthenia, abdominal pain, and nausea. Adverse effects reported without attribution of causality in at least 2% of patients receiving rosuvastatin include pharyngitis, headache, diarrhea, dyspepsia, nausea, myalgia, asthenia, back pain, flu syndrome, urinary tract infection, rhinitis, and sinusitis.
There have been rare post-marketing 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 statins. The reports are generally non-serious and reversible upon statin discontinuation, with variable times to symptom onset (1 day to years) and symptom resolution (median 3 weeks).
Increases in HbA1c and fasting blood glucose have been reported with statins. The risk of hyperglycemia, however, is outweighed by the reduction in vascular risk with statins.
