Statin's & Medicals

Post by patrodrgz »

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have any feedback regarding telling their CAME they're on a statin or suggested to take a statin? (Rosuvastatin)

For context, a Class 1 medical. Given heart disease is the second leading cause of health issues in North America, my thoughts are there must be plenty of feedback regarding Pilots on a statin.

I am trying to get as much feedback on this as possible!

Thanks,

Lots of pilots out there taking Crestor.

Definitely tell your CAME. They probably want to see you take it for a little while to make sure there are no adverse reactions, but there should be no long term restrictions.
