Crestor Lawsuit

The cholesterol-lowering drugs known as "statins" can, rarely, cause serious side effects. When then advertising for Astra-Zenec's Crestor was discovered to contain misleading safety claims in the advertising, the FDA took a closer look at the drug and its advertising. For Astra-Zeneca this meant the possibility of individuals that might have suffered some kind of injury from taking the medication filing a Crestor lawsuit because of the misleading advertising.

Crestor was originally developed by Shionogi, a Japanese pharmaceutical company, and subsequently licensed to Astra-Zeneca in 1998. Developed to help maintain cardiovascular health, Crestor works to reduce "bad" cholesterol in the body and help raise "good" cholesterol. This month Astra-Zeneca has been battling generic drug companies to try to maintain control of the formula for Crestor.
