How Can Fatigue Along With Backache And Joint Pain Be Treated?
Yes, I have been taking Crestor generic and find that I have lost energy, have joint pain and lots of back pain. My cardiologist suggested to come off the Crestor for 5 days to see if my pain is less by not taking Crestor. Then, I am suppose to start back taking 1/2 Crestor with CoQ10 for two weeks. I really don t like the side effects of the Crestor but like all the benefits of CoQ10. Do you think I can stop taking the Crestor and start taking the CoQ10 in place of it?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No, CoQ is not at all an alternative to Crestor. Crestor has much more proven benefits as compared to CoQ.
So, you should take the medicines as directed by your physician and gradually restart it if the side effects allows.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
