Crestor Lawsuits for Heart Attacks, Diabetes
Crestor
Crestor users who were diagnosed with diabetes or suffered a heart attack while taking the drug may have legal recourse. Reportedly, the drug has been associated with an increased risk of heart attacks, a risk the drug was designed to decrease by lowering the user’s cholesterol. Furthermore, one study suggests that Crestor users have a higher chance of developing Type 2 diabetes than those not taking the drug or using another medication. Because the manufacturer failed to warn patients and doctors about the potential risk of Crestor Type 2 diabetes and heart attacks, users who suffered these side effects may be able to participate in a Crestor lawsuit to recover financial compensation.

Crestor Heart Attacks
Reportedly, one of the Crestor side effects is rhabdomyolysis, a disease which depletes muscle mass and strength in the body. While this Crestor side effect may only affect certain areas of the body, in some cases, the muscle mass loss occurs over the entire body, including the heart. When rhabdomyolysis leads to muscle depletion in the heart, the user may be put at risk for a Crestor heart attack, a health problem the medication aims to prevent.

Crestor Type 2 Diabetes
In addition to Crestor heart attacks, the drug has also been associated with an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes. A study underwritten by the manufacturer of Crestor revealed that 270 cases of newly diagnosed diabetes were reported among Crestor users, compared to 216 cases of Type 2 diabetes in the placebo group. Crestor Type 2 diabetes can pose a dangerous risk to the users, as the condition, should it go undiagnosed or untreated, can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
