A member asked:
Is it true that crestor (rosuvastatin) (or statins in general) make you age faster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Statin drugs: The main effect of statin drugs is to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke; in certain populations this results in longer life. Side effects may include muscle pains in some patients, and statin intolerance can limit some patients' treatment options. Accelerated aging is not a concern.
