Crestor is a drug developed by one the biggest pharmaceutical manufacturers in the world, AstraZeneca; it has the goal of reducing the levels of unhealthy cholesterol level in the patient’s blood. High cholesterol levels can lead to dangerous cardiovascular conditions like heart attacks and strokes. This drug prevents the body of the patient from collecting cholesterol. Unfortunately, despite its good purpose, Crestor, like any medication isn’t without its fair share of side effects, some severe and even life threatening. These include general weakness, nausea, muscle pain, constipation and pain in the stomach area. Crestor has been linked by numerous medical studies to severe health conditions like heart attacks and heart failure. The drug affects the heart muscle making it weak and causing the heart to be unable to pump blood properly throughout the body. Symptoms of heart failure include breathing problems, pain the in the chest area, inability to make physical exercise, general fatigue and weakness and heartbeats at inconsistent rhythms. Patients have to consult a doctor at the slightest heart problem. The quicker you seek medical assistance, the better. Patients that have suffered from the side effects of the medication can receive a considerable amount of compensation to cover all the harm the drug has caused them. In order to obtain that compensation, you will need to file a drug injury lawsuit. Before filing a lawsuit it is always better to consult with a legal defender with years of experience in dealing with similar cases. He can make a clear estimate of the damages you have sustained and will have all the necessary tools to achieve proper compensation for your particular situation. While compensation, in some cases, may not be enough to regain the joy of the life you once had, it is clearly an important step in the right direction for the drug’s victim.
