Crestor and Mestinon drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Crestor (rosuvastatin calcium) and Mestinon (pyridostigmine bromide). Common drug interactions include forearm fracture among females and fatigue among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Crestor and Mestinon. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 98 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Crestor?
Crestor has active ingredients of rosuvastatin calcium. It is often used in high blood cholesterol. eHealthMe is studying from 149,761 Crestor users. Check the latest studies of Crestor.
What is Mestinon?
Mestinon has active ingredients of pyridostigmine bromide. It is often used in myasthenia gravis. eHealthMe is studying from 5,948 Mestinon users. Check the latest studies of Mestinon.
98 people who take Crestor and Mestinon together, and have interactions are studied.

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on rosuvastatin calcium and pyridostigmine bromide (the active ingredients of Crestor and Mestinon, respectively), and Crestor and Mestinon (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
