Drug & supplement interaction

Eryngo + 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 Eryngo 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.

Eryngo 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 Eryngo 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 Eryngo 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.

Eryngo safety at a glance

Eryngo overall Use caution Limited safety data exist, so use cautiously and only under guidance.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information is available, so it is best to avoid use during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid There is no reliable safety data, so avoid use while breastfeeding.

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

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Eryngo 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.

  • Nausea reported in 5.4% of FDA reports for Rosuvastatin Additional detail

    Eryngo

    “Orally, large doses of eryngo known as button eryngo may cause nausea and vomiting (12). No adverse effects have been reported for other types of eryngo; however, a high-quality assessment of safety has not been conducted.”

    Rosuvastatin

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Rosuvastatin, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Eryngo but not commonly for Rosuvastatin: vomiting.

Effects for Rosuvastatin come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Eryngo 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 Eryngo

What is Eryngo?

Eryngo
  • Urinary tract complaints
  • Diuretic (increasing urine flow)
  • Respiratory infections and cough
  • Kidney and bladder problems
  • Menstrual pain

Eryngo is a thistle-like herb traditionally used as a diuretic and for urinary and respiratory complaints, but there is very little human research to confirm it actually works. Because its safety has not been well studied, it should be used cautiously and avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Eryngium campestre · Apiaceae · Root and aerial parts (herb) · Tea (infusion or decoction), tincture, dried root, capsules

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

Eryngo: dosing

There is no well-established or standardized dose for eryngo. Traditional use typically involved a tea (infusion or decoction) made from the dried root or herb, but reliable, science-based dosing has not been determined.If you choose to use a commercial 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
Dyspnea 11,981 reports

Taking Eryngo and Rosuvastatin Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Eryngo with Rosuvastatin?
We do not list a known interaction between Eryngo 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 Eryngo 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.
Does Rosuvastatin interact with any supplements?
Yes. Rosuvastatin has documented interactions with 63 supplements in our database — Eryngo is not one of them. The Rosuvastatin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
