(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 26, 2010 ) New York, NY – The Zocor attorneys at Class Action.org are reviewing rhabdomyolysis claims from patients taking the 80mg dosage of Simvastatin, which is the generic equivalent of the cholesterol-lowering drug Zocor. Potential rhabdomyolysis lawsuits are currently being investigated after the FDA released a warning highlighting the increased risk of this serious muscle condition in patients taking the 80mg dosage.

Commonly referred to as “rhabdo,” rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening side effect of Zocor (80mg), Simvastatin (80mg) and Vytorin 10/80, a combination drug containing Zocor. Rhabdomyolysis is characterized by the rapid destruction of skeletal muscle which results in the release of muscle fiber contents into the bloodstream. Potentially, rhabdomyolysis can lead to kidney damage, kidney failure and death. Common symptoms of this Simvastatin side effect include dark or red urine, muscle stiffness, muscle tenderness, fatigue and general weakness. In some cases, additional rhabdomyolysis symptoms, including seizures, joint pain, and unintentional weight gain, may occur.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis after taking the 80mg dosage of Simvastatin, you may be eligible for a Zocor lawsuit.
