Rosuvastatin calcium and Red cell distribution width increased - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Red cell distribution width increased is reported as a side effect among people who take Rosuvastatin calcium (rosuvastatin calcium), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, also take Allopurinol, and have Gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Red cell distribution width increased when taking Rosuvastatin calcium. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 24,757 people who have side effects when taking Rosuvastatin calcium from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
