Q: When is the best time to take crestor? Is before bed ok?
Hi Taking Crestor,
Yes, statin medications are usually most effective if taken prior to bed; however, discuss with your physician to determine what's appropriate for your treatment plan.

Taking both Crestor or Lipitor I have felt unwell and experienced weakness in my legs. Will it help to take Crestor at night as I believe it only has a system life of about 12 hours?
