Is there a limit to the side effects of a drug lawsuit? Yes, and every state has a different statute of limitations, so we say, if you, or any member of your family, have any symptoms or side effects from using Crestor – see your attorney. Crestor is a drug used to lower cholesterol by reducing a specific enzyme which regulates the synthesis of cholesterol in the body. However, you may have discovered that Crestor disagrees with you to extreme. Perhaps you've developed rhabdomyolysis, kidney damage, or drug induced hepatitis. Perhaps a family member has died from acute renal failure through using the drug. That being the case it is well to consult an attorney because of the manufacturer's negligence and product liability. The US Consumer Group of Public Citizens has submitted a petition to the FDA recommending that Crestor be removed from the marketplace. This came about due to twenty-nine patients who had taken the drug and developed kidney problems. In today's fast invention and production of new drugs one must be vigilant and study the various claims each gives for the reasons it may work in you case, but it also seems all must take particular note of the warning labels and take them to heart. When one is ill enough to require medications he should also weigh the disadvantages – some of which are worse than the disease he is trying to cure. The rate of reported kidney cases is about 75 times higher than it is with competing drugs within the same class of statins. Depending on where you stand on problems with cholesterol it's a good idea to thoroughly search the statin category before taking any drug. If you have already suffered with the effects of Crestor it's best to consult an attorney. Most state statutes of limitations only last one year.
