Hi,
Based on the history you seem to have developed Rosuvastatin induced myopathy.
Ubicar is a multivitamin product used to treat or prevent vitamin deficiency due to poor diet, certain illnesses, or during pregnancy.
It is not effective in lowering the high blood cholesterol levels. So, stop taking it and consult your doctor for an effective alternate but a safer medication to lower your high blood cholesterol like colesevalam or ezetimibe.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
