We found no known interaction between Atlantic Cedar 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.

Atlantic Cedar 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 Atlantic Cedar 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Atlantic Cedar at all — not against Rosuvastatin, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

Atlantic Cedar safety at a glance

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

What Rosuvastatin’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Atlantic Cedar. 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

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. Atlantic Cedar’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Atlantic Cedar side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Atlantic Cedar has no side effects.

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 Atlantic Cedar

What is Atlantic Cedar?

Atlantic Cedar
  • Hair loss (alopecia areata)
  • Insect repellent
  • Antimicrobial and antifungal
  • Aromatherapy and relaxation
  • Fragrance in cosmetics and perfumes

Atlantic cedar (Cedrus atlantica) is a tree whose wood and essential oil are used in traditional medicine, mainly applied to the skin and scalp or used as a scent. Human evidence for its health benefits is very limited, and the oil should be used diluted and never swallowed. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a child.

Cedrus atlantica · Pinaceae · Wood and essential oil · Essential oil, topical preparations, aromatherapy products, cosmetics and soaps

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

Atlantic Cedar: dosing

There is no established standard dose for Atlantic cedar. It is not meant to be taken by mouth, and most use is topical or as a scent.If you use a product containing the oil, follow the directions on the label and dilute the essential oil in a carrier oil before applying it to skin.

About Rosuvastatin

What Is Rosuvastatin Used For?

Brand names: Crestor, Ezallor

Rosuvastatin lowers cholesterol and other blood fats. It is used with a healthy diet in adults for high cholesterol (primary hyperlipidemia), mixed dyslipidemia, high triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia) and primary dysbetalipoproteinemia (a less common cholesterol disorder).

It is also used for familial hypercholesterolemia, an inherited form of very high cholesterol. Some tablet labels cover children 8 and older with the heterozygous form. Other labels also cover the homozygous form in children 7 and older, but one generic tablet label leaves out the pediatric information. Several tablet labels include slowing atherosclerosis (fatty plaque buildup in arteries) and lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke and arterial revascularization procedures in adults at increased cardiovascular risk. Wording varies by product.
