Not likely. TTYD.: Clicking in the shoulder points to a rotator cuff (labrum) tear or arthritis, neither of which is common side effect of rosuvastatin or cholesterol-lowering drugs. However, talk to the prescribing doctor or use HealthTap Prime to discuss. If you have arthritis, it's important to get proper diagnosis & treatment or condition can worsen. Avoid overusing shoulder until evaluated. Good luck & thanks.
