Brief Answer:
yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

you can get hives with almost anything. Hives is an allergic reaction and allergies may occur with any substance. Crestor is no exception... If your symptoms are limited to the skin then taking an antihistamine and avoiding the potential offenders (the drug seems like a possible offender) will help. If you've got more serious symptoms as well like shortness of breath or wheezing then you should visit the emergency room...

I hope you find my answer helpful!
Kind Regards!
