The FDA approved Crestor as a cholesterol-lowering drug in August of 2003. Crestor is a type of statin that can reduce cholesterol levels in patients. The FDA initially delayed the drug's approval for a year, however, because of certain damaging side effects that Crestor was seen to have. These side effects especially occurred when administered in an 80-milligram dose. The consumer advocate group Public Citizen had demanded that the FDA not approve Crestor for any use because of the bad side effects the drug had. Public Citizen has repeatedly called on the FDA to pull the drug from the market.

The FDA did approve the drug for use, but with a 40-milligram maximum dosage. Public Citizen still maintains that Crestor should be removed from the market. They are especially concerned with the potential of rhabdomyolysis and kidney damage resulting from use of the drug. All statins have the potential to cause rhabdomyolysis, but Public Citizen feels that Crestor has an unusually high toxicity. This high toxicity may make this drug more damaging than other statins. In August of 2001 Bayer pulled its cholesterol lowering statin Baycol from the market, after several cases of rhabdomyolysis were reported.
