DRUG PRODUCTS LIABILITYBaycol designed as a cholesterol-lowering drug known as a statin , was mostly prescribed for the treatment of high cholesterol. By blocking a liver enzyme that causes cholesterol, statins reduce the liver's cholesterol production. Cerivastatin is also referred to as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (which also blocks the particular liver enzyme that produces cholesterol). Bayer voluntarily withdrew Baycol from the market on August 8, 2001, after reports of deaths associated with Baycol and many liver and kidney problems in patients who were using Baycol. Ephedra The deaths this year of three football players who may have been taking nutritional supplements containing ephedra compounds has everyone from professional athletes to teenage dieters to weekend gym rats wondering what they've been putting into their bodies--and at what risk. Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) is an ingredient used in prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drug products as a nasal decongestant to relieve stuffy nose or sinus congestion and in OTC weight control drug products to control appetite. Rezulin use has been known to be the cause of jaundice, hepatitis, liver failure, liver transplants and the cause of at least 65 deaths since it was introduced. Propulsid was prescribed for many adults suffering the symptoms of nighttime heartburn and for many infants suffering from colic. However, after the FDA received numerous reports linking the drug to dangerous side effects - including at least 80 deaths - the manufacturer announced in March of this year that Propulsid no longer would be marketed in the United States.
