Baycol, also known as Cerivastatin Sodium, is used to control the excess cholesterol in the bloodstream that leads to hardening of the arteries and heart disease. However, the usage of the drug has been linked to reports of death.
Baycol was intended to lower both total cholesterol and LDL ("bad") cholesterol, while raising the HDL ("good") cholesterol that clears the arteries. But Baycol users have experienced severe rhabdomyolysis resulting in kidney failure and death. Baycol was voluntarily withdrawn from the market due to reports of fatal rhabdomyolysis.
To date, many lawsuits have already been filed and several are seeking class action status.
If you or a loved one has suffered a Baycol injury, contact the Law Offices of Jeff Martin. Do not delay seeking legal assistance.
