Do the other statins have the same
safety concerns as Baycol?
All statins have been associated with very rare reports of
rhabdomyolysis. These rare cases can occur when the drugs are used alone
or in combination with another lipid-lowering drug such as gemfibrozil.
However, cases of fatal rhabdomyolysis in association with Baycol use
have been reported more frequently than other approved statins.
