According to the World Health Organization (WHO), adverse reactions are classified according to their frequency of development as follows: very often (>1/10), often (>1/100, <1/10), infrequently (>1/1000, <1/100), rarely (>1/10000, <1/1000) and very rarely (<1/10000); frequency is unknown - according to available data, it was not possible to establish the frequency of occurrence.

When taking rosuvastatin, proteinuria can be observed. Changes in the protein content in the urine (from absence to the presence of trace amounts to the level of ++ and higher) are observed in less than 1% of patients taking rosuvastatin in a dose of 10 mg and 20 mg, and about 3% taking the drug at a dose of 40 mg. A slight change in the amount of protein in the urine, expressed in a change from zero level or the presence of traces to the level of +, was observed when taking the drug at a dose of 20 mg. In most cases, proteinuria decreased and passed independently during the treatment. When analyzing the data of clinical studies, there is no causal relationship between proteinuria and acute or progressive kidney disease.
Disorders from the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue

rarely: Myopathy (including myositis), rhabdomyolysis;
rarely: arthralgia;
frequency is unknown: immuno-mediated necrotizing myopathy. Disturbances from the liver and bile ducts
