Crestor Information

Recently, a non-profit public interest group known as Public Citizen accused the FDA of ignoring recent Crestor information that should have caused the cholesterol drug (one of six drugs known as "statins") to be banned. According to Public Citizen, the Crestor information in question shows that the medication causes a muscle condition known as rhabdomyolysis and related kidney failure. As additional Crestor information becomes available, more groups are beginning to question the use of the drug.

Crestor information available on the web site created by the drug's manufacturer, AstraZeneca, makes no mention of these known side effects. Instead, the only Crestor information related to side effects mentions the more common and benign problems, such as constipation and stomach pain. By contrast, Crestor information gathered even before the approval of the drug showed that patients were at risk for rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure. This Crestor information has been cause for concern among a number of different groups, especially since a similar drug, Baycol, was pulled from the market for causing the same problems, which resulted in over 100 deaths.

Citing the Crestor information, two major American health insurance companies have refused to include Crestor in their list of recommended drugs, instead steering patients to comparable products Lipitor and Zocor. Other Crestor information shows that the medication fails to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, a benefit of lower cholesterol levels offered by three other statins.

Crestor information is available from a variety of independent sources like Private Citizen, and patients whose doctors recommend this drug should discuss the Crestor information fully before deciding to begin this drug regimen. Individuals who feel that they may be suffering ill effects of the medicine should review Crestor information with an attorney to determine whether or not legal action should be taken. If it is found that drug manufacturers withheld or attempted to conceal Crestor information relating to patient safety, then persons harmed by the drug may be eligible for financial restitution.
