rosuvastatine sides

[runway]

I'm taking 5 mg twice per week and i get runny shits / ibs symptoms all week from it. Is this supposed to be a normal side effect? Does it get better with time?

I stopped it for a while, then took 2 x 5 mg per week and same shit again. Thoughts?

Found out it is actually a common side effect. Any suggestions how to deal with it? I would like to take it for safer use of steroids, but it seems impossible with such sides.

I take atorvistatin and it did this to me at first but has since subsided after getting used to the med

Are you taking this without a doctor? Statins have their place but I would not recommend to the average user.

Can you say how long it took for you to get used to it?

Yes, i'm taking it as precaution because of mast and primo. Didn't think i would get such sides from a low dose 2x per week.

I take it with a doctor prescription before I ever started peds. And it started after 2 weeks taking them and lasted maybe a week at most.

Statins have their place I again say. I would not recommend them to a normal healthy person taking aas within reasonable dosages. These are pharmaceutical drugs, they have sides, most can correct their lipids after running a decent cycle and coming off. To each their own body. Just food for thought.

I take 20mg daily, prescribed. I'm almost 40 and have family history of heart attacks. I regularly visit a cardiologist to keep an eye on things. I've had 0 sides from the statin and cholesterol has stayed healthy. Imo statins and bp meds are easy to get through a doc and they can help modify dosing/drugs a bit easier than we can.

I take 10mg per day as prescribed by my doctor with no side effects. It’s the only thing that brings down my ldl and apob
