Rhabdomyolysis is the breakdown of skeletal muscle due to injury. Crestor users may suffer from rhabdomyolysis as a result of chemical injury caused by the agents in the drug itself. Researchers have noted that drug-induced rhabdomyolysis has been increasing in recent years due to the introduction of potent statins like Crestor into clinical practice.

Rhabdomyolysis can cause serious kidney damage and fatal disruptions in heart rhythm. The main therapeutic strategy for rhabdomyolysis is hyperhydration or the use of diuretics. This helps cleanse the kidneys and restore normal function. However, permanent damage can result when rhabdomyolysis is not effectively attended to.

If you have developed rhabdomyolysis while taking Crestor, you owe it to yourself and your family to have an attorney help you investigate your case. A compassionate lawyer can help you fight for justice and obtain the compensation you deserve for your suffering.
