Rosuvastatin And Puffy Ankles, Feet

Updated

Anyone else have this problem while taking Rosuvastatin? My feet swelled after couple of weeks. I'm afraid to keep taking any. I do appreciate any feedback, thanks. I'm 69 yrs old.

I have been on rosuvastatin several years and oddly, the past several weeks my ankles & feet have been swelling, making it painful to walk.
Sure hope someone has answers for us!

I think you must talk with your Doctor.

I have been on it for a few weeks with no problem, then my Dr. bumped up the dosage. My feet and ankles started swelling. I have been totally off for two days, with my doctor’s approval. However, feet and ankles remain swollen. I read it could take weeks for side effects to go awayl

Hi, yes I'm 71 and have had swollen ankles ever since I started taking rosuvastatin. I spoke to the doctor and was told, given what can happen due to high cholesterol, it was the lesser of two evils. If you're worried, see if your doctor will change the tablet? Best wishes
