In the maker’s words

“STAY ON BRANDED CRESTOR, PAY AS LOW AS $3 WITH NO ACTIVATION REQUIRED…”

From the maker’s offer on azmedcoupons.com, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

Maker’s card or discount card?

A discount card like GoodRx lowers the pharmacy’s cash price, but for a brand-name drug that price often stays high. Compare it with the maker’s card above. You can usually use one or the other on a fill, not both.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Crestor itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. A regular generic is sold, with the same active ingredient: ask the pharmacy for its price.

Regular genericWhere to buy it

Pharmacies’ own cash prices for generic rosuvastatin, lowest first.

Pick up in storeDelivered

From each pharmacy’s and clinic’s own site, read November 2, 2026. Confirm the price before you fill.

About these prices

Prices change, can differ by store and state, and may depend on the strength and how many you take. With insurance, ask what your plan charges; it can be less. Most online clinics don’t take insurance.

Regular genericWho makes it

16 companies sell a generic of Crestor that the FDA rates a substitute. A pharmacy fills whichever one it stocks. To get a certain maker, ask for it by name; most pharmacies can order it in a day or two.
