Autogenic Training 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 Autogenic Training in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Autogenic Training alongside specific medications may be limited.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Autogenic Training 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.

Autogenic Training is a practice rather than something you take. Ask your care team whether the type and intensity you plan to practice are appropriate for your health and treatment. 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.

Autogenic Training safety at a glance

Autogenic Training overall Generally safe It is a low-risk mind-body practice for most healthy adults.
Pregnancy Use caution Generally considered low risk, but learn from a qualified instructor and discuss with your provider first.
Breastfeeding Use caution No known harm, but speak with your healthcare provider before starting.

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

What to actually watch for

What Rosuvastatin’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Autogenic Training. 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 practice Autogenic Training and take the medicine. 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. Autogenic Training’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Autogenic Training side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Autogenic Training has no side effects.

Overlapping uses

What Rosuvastatin Is Prescribed For, and What Autogenic Training 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. Autogenic Training is a practice: 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.

Autogenic Training has been studied for:

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

    Autogenic Training for stroke

    A clinical study in adults undergoing standard neurological rehabilitation after an ischemic stroke shows that adding autogenic training for 3 weeks improves sense of self-efficacy and level of acceptance similarly to virtual reality sessions incorporating psychotherapy and physical activity.

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

    Autogenic Training for angina

    Preliminary clinical research in females with a type of angina called cardiac syndrome X shows that completing an 8-week autogenic training program reduces the severity and frequency of chest pain and improves quality of life when compared to control.

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 Autogenic Training 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 Autogenic Training

What is Autogenic Training?

  • Stress and tension
  • Anxiety
  • Trouble sleeping
  • High blood pressure
  • Headaches and chronic pain
  • Calming the body before stressful events

Autogenic training is a relaxation technique that uses self-directed phrases to create feelings of warmth, heaviness, and calm in the body. It is generally safe for most people and may help with stress, anxiety, and sleep, though the quality of research is mixed. It is best learned from a trained instructor and is not a replacement for medical treatment.

Not applicable (a mind-body relaxation technique, not a plant or supplement) · Guided audio recordings, classes with a trained therapist, self-practice scripts, smartphone apps

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

Autogenic Training: dosing

There is no pill or measured "dose" for autogenic training. Instead, it is about regular practice. Many programs suggest practicing for a few minutes, once or several times a day, building up gradually as the technique becomes more natural.It is often best to learn the steps from a trained therapist, a structured program, or a reputable guided recording or app. Follow the instructions provided with your program.

Are Autogenic Training 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 Autogenic Training in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Rosuvastatin is being adjusted to a target.
Does Rosuvastatin interact with any supplements?
Yes. Rosuvastatin has documented interactions with 63 supplements in our database — Autogenic Training is not one of them. The Rosuvastatin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
