This is Michael Brady Lynch, lead trial attorney at The Michael Brady Lynch Firm.
In 2001, I had the privilege of representing hundreds of victims of the statin drug Baycol. All of my clients suffered rhabdomyolysis, and I was a lead attorney in the consolidated litigation that was based in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. I tried the first Baycol case in Corpus Christi, Texas. In 2003, I successfully negotiated a $68.5 million settlement of a significant number of cases on behalf of injured victims of Baycol. Since then, I have always been of the opinion that future litigation involving statin drugs and rhabdomyolysis was only a matter of time.
As I predicted, today the FDA announced strengthened warnings about the risk of life-threatening rhabdomyolysis associated with the 80mg dose of Zocor. The risk associated with the 80mg dose seems to be increased when it is used as an initial starting dose.
If you or someone you know has taken Zocor 80mg and suffered rhabdomyolysis, please contact me directly for a free, no-obligation evaluation of your claim.
