Rosuvastatin is a treatment used to lower cholesterol as well as triglycerides in one's blood. Some adverse effects would include difficulty breathing, confusion or memory problems and swelling of the face. The lab test for liver function should be monitor such as ALT, ALP and gammaglutamyl transferase since this drug can cause a liver disorder.
