My father was prescribed Crestor for high cholesterol by his doctor over 2 1/2 years ago. According to Crestor's site, my father should have been given different tests before being prescribed the strongest statin on the market. He also should have been put on a diet/exercise routine. After three weeks of taking this statin drug, my father began to have joint and muscle pain and weakness throughout his body. He contacted his doctor immediately and was taken off of the drug. His doctor barely spent more than ten minutes with him at his follow up appointments and didn't help him with the pain. He kept being told that it would go away, so we just waited..
My father owns his own business and has been unable to work because of his pain. He has been to many other doctors for more opinions, which resulted in a large amount of medical bills, which he hasn't been able to afford to pay.
Sooo many more people are suffering with pain caused by these stain drugs that deplete the CoQ10 enzyme throughout the body. Doctors need to be aware of this and help their patients more. I am so upset with his doctor and I think we have no choice but to find a lawyer that will take our case. We have looked into class action suits against Crestor, but barely any lawyers are wanting to take the case. I believe this whole matter started with his doctor being neglectful.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
