Public Citizen renews petition for immediate ban of Crestor
-May 18, 2004
Public Citizen consumer group has renewed its petition to the FDA for the immediate removal of Crestor from the market. Approved in August 2003, Crestor was linked to seven cases of a muscle destroying condition called rhabdomyolysis and nine cases of kidney failure by March 2004, leading the consumer group to issue its first petition to the FDA for the ban of Crestor.
The group was against the approval of Crestor from the start. Comparing Crestor to recalled cholesterol drug Baycol, Public Citizen believes Crestor can be just as deadly. Baycol was taken off the market after being linked to over 30 deaths from rhabdomyolysis.
