It's apperntly a new Statin(was approved in canada in late Febuary 2003. Im wondering if any one else is on it, and if so if they have een having any problems with it.

I started taking it 2 nights ago, 1st night it gave me a bit nausea, so the second night I took it with some PB&J toast, and I felt as though I was going to throw up.

In the last 3-4 days I have started to get slight pain in my knees and calfs. I dont know if it is unrelated or if it is a side effect of the 2 new drugs I was put on.

Rosuvastatin Calcium - Crestor 20mg
Rampril - 5mg
