Can Taking Low Dosage Of Crestor Reduce Muscle Tiredness?

Can I reduce my muscle tiredness by reducing my Crestor to 10mg/ day or taking 20mg every 2nd day. I have been on statins for 10 yrs, levels have been kept low, stress tests passed. Wish to remain active at 70, landscaping, golf etc, but challenged by muscle wastage after an active life

General & Family Physician 's  Response
hello there
Sure you should reduce the dose and you will feel better

You could also add a co Q to the present dose and continue
But the former option is better

Hope that helps
