London Based AstraZeneca held responsible for Crestor Problems

Will AstraZeneca's Crestor go the way of Baycol? Will it be removed from the market because of unique risks of muscle disease? 5 years ago, Baycol was removed for these same problems that now are appearing to be related to Crestor -- Rhabdbomyolysis. Like Baycol, Crestor is a statin. Statins block certain enzymes the body uses to make cholesterol. But this drug is listed as a DO NOT USE drug by http://www.worstdrugs.com.
