here.On August 7, 2001, the Bayer Corporation withdrew from the
market its cholesterol lowering drug, Baycol. This drug has been
linked to more than 40 deaths worldwide.
Baycol is one of a group of pharmaceuticals known as "statins."
Statins are increasingly popular prescription drugs used to lower
blood cholesterol.
The Baycol recall came as a result of reports to the Federal Food
and Drug Administration indicating some patients had experienced
severe side effects, including rhabdomyolysis. This is a condition
that causes the breakdown of muscle cells, resulting in severe muscle
pain - most often in the lower back and calves. Some patients also
develop serious, even fatal, kidney disease. Affected users also
may experience such side effects as muscle tenderness or weakness
coupled with general physical discomfort or fever.
If you or a loved one has used Baycol, promptly consult your doctor
for an evaluation.
If you have been injured by taking Baycol, you may be entitled
to compensation. You should act immediately to contact a high profile
lawyer experienced in matters involving potentially dangerous pharmaceuticals.
