    Crestor (rosuvastatin) is not safe for pregnant or breast-feeding women. Crestor has been shown to increase the risk of birth defects and may harm your baby if you are breast-feeding. Do not take Crestor if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking Crestor, tell your doctor right away.
