Hello,
Common side effects of rosuvastatin is a headache, muscle pain, abdominal pain, weakness, nausea, dizziness, hypersensitivity reactions (including rash, pruritus, hives, and swelling), and pancreatitis etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. It may be due to irritable bowel syndrome or peptic ulcer disease or food intolerence or infection etc.
Avoid spicy food and caffeinated drinks. Take soft diet. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will write alternate medication and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
