Baycol Information

Baycol (cerivastatin), which was initially approved in the U.S. in 1997, is a member of a class of cholesterol lowering drugs that are commonly referred to as "statins." Statins lower cholesterol levels by blocking a specific enzyme in the body that is involved in the synthesis of cholesterol.

On August 8, 2001, Bayer AG voluntarily withdrew the drug Baycol from the U.S. market after it caused the deaths of 52 patients. Baycol is a cholesterol-lowering drug classified as a statin. Essentially, Baycol blocks an enzyme that creates cholesterol. In a number of cases, patients developed a debilitating muscle disease known as rhabdomyolysis. This disease can cause severe pain and potential kidney failure as well as deterioration of muscle tissues. It is estimated that 700,000 Americans were taking Baycol when it was removed from the market.

There are three high risk populations for Baycol:

- Elderly patients
- High dosage patients of Baycol
- Patients taking Baycol in conjunction with gemfibrozil

If you are currently taking Baycol, discuss with your doctor whether a different statin medication is available for you. Patients taking Baycol in conjunction with gemfibrozil should speak with their doctor immediately about the potential health risks.
