If you are taking Crestor, or any other statin drug such as Lipitor, to lower your cholesterol your doctor may have warned you about possible side effects. Crestor can cause muscle injury that in some severe cases can lead to kidney damage and other life-threatening organ failure.

Myopathy is a neuromuscular disorder that causes muscle weakness and loss of muscle fiber. The disease can be progressive and severely disabling or even life-threatening.

Rhabdomyolysis is the breakdown of muscle fibers. The breakdown can release muscle fiber contents into the circulation system. Some muscle fibers can be toxic to kidneys and cause acute kidney failure.

If you have been harmed by Crestor, if a loved one has died because of kidney failure due to Crestor, tell us about it. Our personal injury lawyers can help you understand the laws and your rights. You do not have to face a big drug manufacturer alone.
