Drug & supplement interaction

Ambrette + Rosuvastatin

Rosuvastatin brand names: Crestor, Ezallor.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Ambrette 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. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Ambrette 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 Ambrette 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.

Ambrette safety at a glance

Ambrette overall Use caution Limited human safety data exist, so use cautiously and mainly as a fragrance or flavoring.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety data, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Possibly Unsafe When used orally or topically. Ambrette passes into mother's milk, but the effect is unknown. Read the full breastfeeding detail

Pregnancy & breastfeeding ratings are from Natural Medicines (Therapeutic Research Center) — the full detail is in the Special populations card below. 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. Ambrette 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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Ambrette and Rosuvastatin May Share a Side Effect

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Rosuvastatin. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Ambrette but not commonly for Rosuvastatin: sun sensitivity.

Effects for Rosuvastatin come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Ambrette come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. 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. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

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 Ambrette

What is Ambrette?

Ambrette
  • Fragrance and aromatherapy
  • Digestive complaints
  • Respiratory complaints
  • Skin irritation
  • Insect repellent (traditional)

Ambrette (Abelmoschus moschatus) is a fragrant plant best known for its musky seed oil used in perfumes and food flavoring. It has a long history in traditional medicine for digestion, breathing problems, and skin issues, but solid human studies supporting these uses are lacking. If you want to try it, talk with your pharmacist or doctor first, and avoid use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Abelmoschus moschatus · Malvaceae · Seeds and seed essential oil · Essential oil, seed extracts, perfume/fragrance products, food flavoring

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

Ambrette: dosing

There is no established standardized dose for ambrette as a supplement or medicine. Amounts used in foods and fragrances are small, and these uses have not been studied as treatments.If you choose to use an ambrette product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

About Rosuvastatin

What Is Rosuvastatin Used For?

Brand names: Crestor, Ezallor

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.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Rosuvastatin

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (229,715 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Fatigue 14,778 reports
Nausea 12,432 reports

Taking Ambrette and Rosuvastatin Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Ambrette with Rosuvastatin?
We do not list a known interaction between Ambrette 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.
Do Ambrette and Rosuvastatin have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Ambrette and Rosuvastatin combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Rosuvastatin is filed under 4 classifications, and Ambrette 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 Ambrette interact with any other medications?
Yes. Ambrette 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 — Ambrette is not one of them. The Rosuvastatin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
