Is liver pain usually associated with taking Crestor?
My doctor recently started me on 10mg Crestor once a day. Within a couple of days I noticed liver pain - I like to drink beer on the weekends and stop taking it on weekends knowing that I would be drinking some beer. The liver pain goes away when I stop taking Crestor on weekends, and when I start taking it regularly again on Monday, the liver pain is back. Is this something I should be concerned about? I never had any liver pain previously, for any reason. My liver enzymes were normal. My cholesterol is high, but that is why he started me on Crestor.
Hi KarenSki,
The pain you are feeling isn't typical and I encourage you to discuss with your phsyician. Be sure to mention you do not have the pain when you stop taking the medication.
All the best,
