Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I am a 71 year old man and have been on rosuvastatin 5mgs daily. My cholesterol level is quite low but the Cardiologist is a strong believer in a very low cholesterol. I have come on holiday and it's been hot and sunny. I've developed a redness over my face - not really itchy but red and raised, especially around cheeks and forehead. It happened about 2 weeks ago when it was hot and sunny. I've read about rosuvastatin causing photo toxicity. What do you think? Thank you.
