Good evening! Yes, Rosuvastatin can be taken in the morning. Most cholesterol medications are usually taken first thing at bedtime. However, it may be perfectly acceptable to take it in the morning with your other medications! However, if you are experiencing muscle cramps related to your Rosuvastatin medication, I strongly encourage you to discuss this with a health care professional (e.g. your pharmacist or doctor). Sometimes medications from the same family can be tried in the hopes of eliminating these pains We hope to have answered your question! Laurie Hudon-Germain, pharmacist
