The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Acai and Rosuvastatin in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Acai and Rosuvastatin

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Rosuvastatin and Acai in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Acai safety at a glance

Acai overall Use caution Acai is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement quality and high-dose effects are not well studied.
Pregnancy Use caution Acai as a food is likely fine, but concentrated supplements have not been studied in pregnancy, so it is best to use caution.
Breastfeeding Use caution There is not enough safety information on acai supplements during breastfeeding, so caution is advised.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Rosuvastatin

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Rosuvastatin is filed under 4 classifications — including hmg-coa reductase inhibitors ("statins"), hepatotoxic drugs, oral drugs. Acai has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) — and none of Rosuvastatin’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

Keep it in perspective

What Rosuvastatin’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Acai. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Rosuvastatin’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A change in thyroid levels Worth acting on
  • Severe muscle breakdown Worth acting on
  • Muscle weakness Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • A severe skin reaction Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 30 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Rosuvastatin. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 223,851 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Rosuvastatin that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Acai’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Acai side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Acai has no side effects.

Overlapping uses

What Rosuvastatin Is Prescribed For, and What Acai Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Rosuvastatin is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Acai is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Rosuvastatin is prescribed for: Rosuvastatin tablets are used alongside diet changes to lower LDL-C ("bad" cholesterol), total cholesterol, and triglycerides (blood fats), and to raise HDL-C ("good" cholesterol) in adults with high cholesterol or mixed cholesterol problems. They are also used in adults with very high triglycerides, a condition called primary dysbetalipoproteinemia (Type III, a genetic fat-metabolism disorder), and to slow the buildup of plaque in arteries (atherosclerosis). In people without established heart disease but with multiple risk factors, rosuvastatin tablets can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and procedures to open blocked arteries. For children and teens aged 8 and older with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH, an inherited high-cholesterol condition), the tablet form is used to lower LDL-C after diet alone has not worked.

Crestor tablets are also approved to treat homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH, a more severe inherited form) in adults and in children aged 7 and older.

Acai has been studied for:

  • Hypercholesterolemia studied, not established Acai has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Acai for hypercholesterolemia

    Although there is interest in using oral acai for hypercholesterolemia, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of acai for this condition.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Rosuvastatin on your own; if you are taking Acai for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Rosuvastatin page

“Rosuvastatin (Crestor, Ezallor) is a statin taken daily for years to lower cholesterol, and its supplement list deserves real scrutiny, not a quick skim. Five of the 63 ingredients on file carry a major rating, headed by grapefruit, which can raise statin blood levels, and by heavy drinking, since beer and wine compound the strain this…”

About Acai

What is Acai?

Acai
  • Antioxidant support
  • Weight loss
  • Energy and vitality
  • Heart health
  • General wellness ('superfood')

Acai is a nutritious Amazonian berry rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, and it is fine to enjoy as a food. However, strong human evidence is lacking for the bold health claims often attached to acai supplements, including weight loss and disease prevention.

Euterpe oleracea · Arecaceae · Fruit (berry) and its pulp · Juice, frozen pulp, smoothie packs, powder, capsules, tablets

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Acai is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Acai record says about it on its own.

Acai: dosing

There is no officially established or standardized dose for acai. Amounts used in studies and products vary widely depending on the form (juice, pulp, powder, or capsule).The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount.

Rosuvastatin tablets are used alongside diet changes to lower LDL-C ("bad" cholesterol), total cholesterol, and triglycerides (blood fats), and to raise HDL-C ("good" cholesterol) in adults with high cholesterol or mixed cholesterol problems. They are also used in adults with very high triglycerides, a condition called primary dysbetalipoproteinemia (Type III, a genetic fat-metabolism disorder), and to slow the buildup of plaque in arteries (atherosclerosis).

In people without established heart disease but with multiple risk factors, rosuvastatin tablets can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and procedures to open blocked arteries. For children and teens aged 8 and older with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH, an inherited high-cholesterol condition), the tablet form is used to lower LDL-C after diet alone has not worked. Crestor tablets are also approved to treat homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH, a more severe inherited form) in adults and in children aged 7 and older.

Taking Acai and Rosuvastatin Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Acai with Rosuvastatin?
We do not list a known interaction between Acai and Rosuvastatin. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Are Acai and Rosuvastatin used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Acai in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Rosuvastatin is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Acai and Rosuvastatin combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Rosuvastatin is filed under 4 classifications, and Acai has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Rosuvastatin's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Acai interact with any other medications?
Yes. Acai has 86 documented drug interactions in our database — Rosuvastatin is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Rosuvastatin interact with any supplements?
Yes. Rosuvastatin has documented interactions with 63 supplements in our database — Acai is not one of them. The Rosuvastatin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
