Drug & supplement interaction

Magnet Therapy + Rosuvastatin

Rosuvastatin brand names: Crestor, Ezallor.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Magnet Therapy 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

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

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Magnet Therapy 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.

Magnet Therapy is a treatment rather than something you take. Tell whoever provides it which medicines you use, and ask your prescriber whether it is 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.

Magnet Therapy safety at a glance

Magnet Therapy overall Use caution Static magnets are low-risk for most people but may be unsafe for those with implanted electronic devices.

Pregnancy Use caution Safety during pregnancy has not been well studied, so avoid use unless cleared by your doctor.

Breastfeeding Use caution There is little safety information for breastfeeding, so check with your doctor first.

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 Magnet Therapy 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 having Magnet Therapy while taking the medicine 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
Magnet Therapy
“Magnet therapy seems to be generally well-tolerated. Some side effects reported in clinical trials include more painful menstrual periods, heavier periods, nausea, diarrhea, an abnormal sensation in the arms, and a feeling of "fuzzy headedness". However, it is unclear whether these side effects are attributable to the magnet therapy.”

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 Magnet Therapy but not commonly for Rosuvastatin: diarrhea.

Effects for Rosuvastatin come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Magnet Therapy 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.

Overlapping uses

What Rosuvastatin Is Prescribed For, and What Magnet Therapy 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. Magnet Therapy is a treatment: 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.

Magnet Therapy has been studied for:

Stroke studied, not established Magnet Therapy has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows
Magnet Therapy for stroke
Generally low-quality clinical research shows that repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation after a stroke offers limited benefit for improving upper or lower extremity function or spasticity. One clinical study shows that repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation for 29 minutes twice daily, five days weekly for 2 weeks, in combination with occupational therapy does not improve motor function, but modestly reduces…

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 Magnet Therapy 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 Magnet Therapy

What is Magnet Therapy?

Joint and arthritis pain
Back and neck pain
Muscle aches
Fibromyalgia and chronic pain
General wellness and circulation

Magnet therapy involves placing static magnets near the body in hopes of easing pain, but high-quality studies have not shown that it works better than fake (placebo) magnets. It is generally low-risk for most people, but it should never replace proven medical care.

Not applicable (uses static or electromagnetic magnets) · Magnetic bracelets, insoles, mattress pads, wraps, necklaces, and patches

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

Magnet Therapy: dosing

There is no established or standardized "dose" for magnet therapy. Products vary widely in magnet strength, size, and how they are worn.If you choose to try a magnetic product, follow the manufacturer's instructions for how to wear or place it.

Having Magnet Therapy While Taking Rosuvastatin: Common Questions

Is it safe to have Magnet Therapy while taking Rosuvastatin?

We do not list a known interaction between Magnet Therapy 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 Magnet Therapy 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.

Are Magnet Therapy 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 Magnet Therapy 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 — Magnet Therapy is not one of them. The Rosuvastatin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
