Crestor

Crestor is a cholesterol-reducing drug approved by the FDA in 2003. This approval was initially delayed for a year because the FDA was concerned about potential side effects. Arguably, Crestor should never have been approved in the first place.

Crestor has been shown to rhabdomyolysis, a breakdown of muscle cells and potentially dangerous, as well as kidney failure. It is believed that if rhabdomyolysis becomes serious enough, the skeletal muscles can die and cause a massive release of protein into the bloodstream. This muscle tissue can become trapped in the kidney and the result is usually fatal.

Several public interest groups have been pressuring the government to ban Crestor from the market. The longer Crestor stays on the market, the more patients will suffer adverse side effects and death.
