What Causes Tingling Sensation In Tongue And Cheeks After Taking Teva-Rosuvastatin?

I have been taking Teva-rosuvastatin for the last year and I just got another prescription of this and am finding that when I take it, the end of my tongue is tingling and on my cheeks and I am getting some muscle aches on the top of my left shoulder. Should I take a breather from it? Would you consider these allergic reactions?

Hi,

Are your taking any heart, hypertension or diabetic medication? While taking Rosuvastatin it might gives side effects like muscle pain etc. I suggest you to stop your medication and do lipid profile test immediately. Consult your physician to get an alternative medication for Rosuvastatin.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
