According to the Southern Medical Journal in its July 2010 edition, volume 103, issue 7, on pp 676-678, in their article "Rosuvastatin - Induced Thrombocytopenia" it appears that the answer to your question is Yes! I recently saw a patient who was treated with Simvastatin for over 2years by another provider. The patient's platelet count is 135 (Normal range is 140-400) on the lab report we ordered at our clinic. Good Luck!
