Side Effects, risks and Legal Options
Millions of Americans rely on medications to manage high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels. Common treatments include ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and statin medications such as Crestor. While these drugs are widely prescribed, they are not without risks.
In some cases, patients experience serious or unexpected side effects that interfere with daily life or lead to long-term health complications. When manufacturers fail to adequately warn patients and doctors about known risks, injured individuals may have grounds for legal action.
Carabin Law represents patients harmed by dangerous prescription medications and helps families seek accountability and compensation.
What Are Hypertension and High Cholesterol?
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, occurs when blood consistently flows through the arteries at elevated pressure levels. Over time, uncontrolled hypertension can damage blood vessels and significantly increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and other serious conditions. Many people experience no symptoms until lasting damage has already occurred.
High cholesterol develops when fatty substances build up in the bloodstream, narrowing arteries and increasing the likelihood of heart disease and stroke. Statin drugs are commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol by reducing the body’s ability to produce it. However, these medications may also cause adverse reactions in some patients.
