Crestor

Crestor was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2003 for use in the treatment of various lipid disorders and to lower cholesterol levels. In recent months, there have been reports of serious side effects resulting from the use of Crestor, including in some patients, rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney failure, and kidney damage.

An adverse reaction to Crestor is Rhabdomyolysis, a disorder causing the breakdown of muscle fibers, which releases the contents of toxic cells into the circulation system. Symptoms of rhabdomyolysis include muscle pain, weakness, tenderness, malaise, fever, dark urine, nausea, and vomiting. The pain may involve specific groups of muscles or may be generalized throughout the body.

Serious side effects associated with Crestor also include unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, flu like symptoms, yellowing of the skin or eyes, unexplained fatigue, dark colored urine or pale colored stools. These may be early symptoms of muscle or liver problems.

If have taken Baycol and suffered side effects, you may have a case. The attorneys of James F. Humphreys & Associates will not allow you or a loved one to suffer due to the negligence of a pharmaceutical company or drug manufacturer.
