Crestor is rosuvastatin, a lipid-lowering agent prescribed to patients with abnormal lipid profiles. Study showed that arteries clogged with fatty deposits that can cause heart and stroke attacks can be cleared by this wonder drug.
But not many people are convinced to use the medicine. This drug was flooded with criticisms by experts that the company studied only small sample size. It also lack comparative statin in the study. Although it was said to be effective, Crestor is hounded by calls for its withdrawal from the market by concerned consumer groups (some even filed Crestor lawsuit) because of reports of serious muscle wasting and kidney problems.
