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!

There is limited evidence directly linking simvastatin to trigger thumb, a condition that affects the tendons in the fingers. While statins, including simvastatin, can cause musculoskeletal symptoms in some individuals, trigger thumb is not commonly reported as a side effect.

Could you take simvastatin instead of rosuvastatin?

Probably. Simvastatin isn't as potent as rosuvastatin, though, so if you are taking a high dose of rosuvastatin, then you may not be able to get an equivalent dose of simvastatin. Give your doctor a call and ask if he or she will write you a prescription for simvastatin instead.
