Crestor is a drug meant to control cholesterol levels in the patient; it is also occasionally used to treat cardiovascular disease. The drug functions by preventing the body from synthesizing cholesterol.

Crestor is said by many to have more serious side effects than do similar medications. Consumer interest groups, such as Public Citizen, have filed petitions to remove Crestor from the market because they believed AstraZeneca was disingenuous in its disclosure of dangerous side effects. The FDA denied this petition, but concern still exists about the dangerous side effects.

The most serious Crestor side effect is the possibility of kidney damage and possible total renal failure. There have been a number of documented cases of Crestor causing serious kidney damage.

Another concern with Crestor is the possibility of Rhabdomyolysis, in which muscle tissue breaks down and enters into the blood stream. This disease is destroys muscles and is often fatal. This disease can actually cause severe liver damage as well. Apparently, the makers of this drug knew of Crestor side effects, but did a poor job of notifying consumers.
