If you have taken Baycol and suffered any adverse reaction or side effects, including kidney damage, you may be entitled to compensation.

Baycol is a prescription drug manufactured by Bayer A.G. Pharmaceuticals. Baycol belongs to the statin class of drugs, which lower cholesterol by blocking certain enzymes. It was widely prescribed to lower cholesterol and reduce heart attacks. Baycol was approved for use in the U.S. in 1997. As a result of 31 deaths linked to the popular drug, Bayer voluntarily recalled Baycol on August 8, 2001.

Statin drugs have been known to cause muscle cell damage and, in some cases, a condition called rhabdomyolysis that results in muscle cell breakdown. The contents of muscle cells are released into the bloodstream causing muscle pain, fever nausea, vomiting, kidney failure and even death. Rhabdomyolysis occurs ten times more often with Baycol than other statin drugs and has lead to more than 30 deaths.

After receiving reports of increased problems, Bayer adjusted the recommended dosage level of Baycol, and claimed that patients were taking the drug in doses not consistent with Baycol's product labeling. Assuming that the patients were to blame rather than the drug, Bayer reaffirmed that the proper use of Baycol was safe, and said that no serious side effects should occur.

Please consult your physician before discontinuing any medication.

You see after mom started taking the drug we noticed she was going downhill. She was tired all the time, she couldn’t sleep and became very restless.     CONTINUE
