Can you use Sculptra and Crestor simultaneously? Is it safe?

My plastic surgeon began my Sculptra. I need 1 more visit. Was put on Crestor 10mg by my internist. Now cosmetic doc refuses to finish the Sculptra. Does Crestor 10mg interfere with Sculptra on my chin and cheek?

Honestly, I don't know why your physician won't treat you with Sculptra because you are on Crestor. I nor the Doctor here have heard of any reasons why they would interfere with each other. I would talk to your doctor and ask him to tell you his reasoning for the decision not to treat you until you are off of it.

There is no contraindication to using Sculptra in a patient who is on Crestor. There are no adverse drug interactions between the two. If your doctor is not furthering your Sculptra treatments, it has to be for a different reason.

Sculptra and Crestor can be used simultaneously.
