Hyland's Restless Legs - Crestor (Rosuvastatin) Interaction

Interaction Details

Pharmacist Analysis

In most situations, clinically significant interactions between homeopathic products and prescription or over-the-counter medications are extremely unlikely.

Homeopathic medications, which utilize the principle of 'like cures like', are often highly diluted substances. These dilutions are typically so high that the final remedy contains only a tiny amount of the original active ingredient, if any at all.

In theory, because the concentration of the active ingredient is so low, homeopathic preparations are unlikely to interact with other medications in the body.

This is certainly the case with Hyland's Restful Legs, with all the ingredients diluted at potencies of 6X or 12X. A potency of 6X means that the original substance has been diluted by a factor of 10^6, or one part in a million (i.e.,  for every million parts of the solution, there is one part of the original substance).

It is important to note that not all homeopathic remedies are free of potential drug interactions as some use very low dilutions (which is often the case with zinc-containing products).

Nevertheless, there are no known drug interactions between Hyland's Restful Legs and other medications. It is also thought to be safe to take along with medications to help sleep, like Benadryl, melatonin, and NyQuil, which are commonly used with the product to help sleep.

Rosuvastatin Overview

• Rosuvastatin is used together with diet, weight-loss, and exercise to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke and to decrease the chance that heart surgery will be needed in people who have heart disease or who are at risk of developing heart disease. Rosuvastatin is also used to decrease the amount of cholesterol such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ('bad cholesterol') and triglycerides in the blood and to increase the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ('good cholesterol') in the blood. Rosuvastatin may also be used together with diet to decrease the amount of cholesterol and other fatty substances in the blood in children and teenagers 8 to 17 years of age who have familial heterozygous hypercholesterolemia (an inherited condition in which cholesterol cannot be removed from the body normally). Rosuvastatin is used together with diet, and alone or in combination with other medications, to decrease the amount of cholesterol and other fatty substances in the blood in adults and children and teenagers 7 to 17 years of age who have familial homozygous hypercholesterolemia (an inherited condition in which cholesterol cannot be removed from the body normally). Rosuvastatin is in a class of medications called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). It works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body to decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body.

• Accumulation of cholesterol and fats along the walls of your arteries (a process known as atherosclerosis) decreases blood flow and, therefore, the oxygen supply to your heart, brain, and other parts of your body. Lowering your blood level of cholesterol and fats with rosuvastatin has been shown to prevent heart disease, angina (chest pain), strokes, and heart attacks.
