Crestor® (rosuvastatin) is used together with lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise and weight loss, to reduce the amount of cholesterol in your bloodstream. Crestor® is in a class of medications called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors or statins. This medication was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in August of 2003. It has been shown to reduce the overall level of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in the bloodstream. It was also advertised as raising the “good” cholesterol (HDL). After years of use by the public, it has been shown to have significant risk potential. An FDA health advisory was issued to alert the public to the risks of taking Crestor®. While it is not yet known if there will be a Crestor® Class Action, you do have rights and may deserve compensation. Experienced attorneys can help protect your right to compensation and explain your options.
Public Citizen is a national, nonprofit consumer advocacy organization founded in 1971 to represent consumer interests in Congress, the executive branch agencies and the courts. This group is not associated with the FDA or the manufacturer. Public Citizen believes the Crestor® side effects could prove incapacitating or even deadly. One of the side effects of Crestor® is Rhabdomyolysis and occurs when a large number of skeletal muscle cells die. The death of the skeletal muscle cells results in the release of a massive amount of muscle protein into the bloodstream. This flood of muscle protein in the blood leads to the deadliest of Crestor® side effects. The muscle protein becomes trapped in the kidneys, affecting the filtering process of the kidneys leading to possible, if not probable, kidney failure. Other related side effects include cardiac arrest resulting from potassium released from the damaged muscle cells.
The risks are overwhelming and have led to an outcry and demand for a Crestor® recall by Public Citizen. Crestor® has not been recalled and it is not known at this time if a recall will be established. Additional Crestor® side effects are significant, possibly life altering, potentially lethal and include: cardiomyopathy, myopathy, necrotizing myopathy, heart attack, type 2 diabetes, sudden cardiac death, kidney failure and death from a heart related condition.
A Crestor® Class Action, should one develop, would bring together groups of individuals with similar claims into one large single lawsuit. For those people who may have developed or suffered serious injury after taking this medication, there are legal options even in the absence of a Crestor® Class Action. Lawyers can explain all of your rights and options.
