Is OVARIAN NEOPLASM a side effect of CRESTOR ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of CRESTOR patients who developed OVARIAN NEOPLASM.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 4 individuals taking CRESTOR reported OVARIAN NEOPLASM to the FDA. A total of 57104 CRESTOR drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

QUESTION DYSTONIA	I started taking Crestor 10 mg in ,I think 2004,after starting with Lipitor in 2002. The change was at my request after having so many "Lipitor induced polymyositis" muscle biopsies coming in to the Histpathology lab. that I was working in. I was diagnosed as having Essential tremor in 2011/2012, which changed to Dystonia, in my left hand only, after a number of visits to specialists in two hospitals. My cholesterol dropped to 4.5, so went on 5 mg once a day. In November, my cholesterol had dropped to 3.5mg, so my GP took me off Crestor completely, and said to review my lipid profile in May. Now my right hand has very mild symptoms. I am 75 y.o., and all my other chemistry ,including LFTs are almost middle of the normal range. Staying off Crestor, do you think that the dystonia might reverse, and is it possible that Crestor may have caused it..

QUESTION PERICARDIAL EFFUSIONMALIGNANT	I resently spent 3 weeks in the hospital with severe chest pain and shortness of breath. None of my Dr.'s could find out what was going on with me but knew there was something wrong because of my vital signs and breathing. After all kinds of ct.scans, x-rays and blood tests, they finally found blood trapped in the paricardial sack squeezing my heart. They did a paricardial window and drained 550 cc's of blood off my heart and left a hose draining out for another 4 days. However, I was still having a very hard time breathing. They then saw that I now had fluid on my lungs. The pulmonary Dr. drained (again) 550 cc's of fluid off my left lung. The right wasn't so bad and he left that lung alone. They ended up treating me with steroids and said they felt the pain was because my chest had been through so much trauma. After seeing this about Crestor, (and statens) I am wondering if that could be the cause? It has been frustrating because four specialist and their partners could not tell me why it happened or if it will ever happen again!	2016-05-06 20:56:46
