Good morning doctor. I am a 55 year old female with type 2 diabetes and a family history of cholesterol. Several statins were described to me before. I was on Aspavor for some time but I believe that gave me chest pain. My doctor changed the medicine to Crestor and the condition improved. Because my medical fund does not cover rosovastatin we opt for a generic vusor which was only recently available. Within about a week I was feeling the chest pain. It happens some in the morning and also during the night when I wake up (not every morning). I stopped the vusor for the last three weeks to a month and the chest pain is still there. Do you think I should start taking the Crestor again to see if it goes away, or can it be something else. The active ingredient in Crestor and Vusor is the same?? rosovastatin!! I would appreciate your opinion. Ronell
