Crestor Side Effects

Since the 2003 launch of Crestor, the cholesterol lowering drug made by the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, the drug has been the focus of criticism and controversy concerning its side effects. The original application filed with the FDA in 2001 was delayed because of reports of kidney damage and other health concerns during clinical trials. The drug was approved in 2003, but only up to 40 milligrams.

It has been reported that the drug’s most severe side effect is a condition called rhabdomyolysis, a disease which destroys muscle tissues. Kidney failure of various types has also been reported in patients treated with Crestor. The FDA, however, determined that that there is not enough evidence to conclude that kidney damage is a direct result of Crestor therapy.


Other Crestor side effects are less severe:



  • Body aches

  • Congestion

  • Cough

  • Dry, sore throat

  • Voice changes

  • Trouble swallowing

  • Runny nose

  • Back or chest pain

  • Indigestion


If these side effects persist while taking Crestor, contact your healthcare professional.
