3. Baycol
Next on our list of drugs pulled from the market is Baycol. Made by Bayer, the prescription drug that was meant to help patients with high cholesterol was recalled after being on the market for about four years.
In 2001, Bayer voluntarily withdrew it amid reports of a deadly side effect. According to the FDA, Baycol, known generically as cerivastatin, caused the deaths of 31 individuals. The drug’s rare side effect, rhabdomyolysis, was found to destroy muscle cells.
These cells then end up in the bloodstream, causing severe muscle pain, frequently in the lower back or the calves. In rare instances, the effects are so acute that patients develop potentially fatal kidney or other organ failure.
The recall cost Bayer $1.2 billion.

I could not find a pill for blood pressure that was not harmful to my well being.
Lies….it was and still is all about political jealousies & $$$$….side effects were very deliberately inflated…..I know this for a fact. All I can say.
REMOVE THESE DANGEROUS DRUGS FROM THE MARKET CAUSING LYMPHEDEMA:
ZYPREXA, SEROQUEL & AMLODIPINE-(ALL THESE CAUSEDRUG-INDUCED LIFE-THREATENING LYMPHEDEMA & LYMPHATIC DISORDERS)
REMOVE FUROSEMIDE-(CAUSES LOW POTASSIUM AND LOW MAGNESIUM AND LOW THIAMINE AND DANGEROUSLY HIGH GLUCOSE & ALSO MIMICS DEMENTIA CAUSING MENTAL CONFUSION & CAN WORSEN DRUG-INDUCED LYMPHEDEMA)
REMOVE METOPROLOL-(MIMICS DEMENTIA CAUSING MENTAL CONFUSION ALSO)
Very interesting and enlightening information. Thanks for compiling it and sharing it with us.
aFTER TAKING vIOX FOR 30 DAYS i WAS HOSPITALIZED NEEDING 3 TRANSFUSIONS DUE TO BLEEDING ULCERS
And so why doesn’t the FDA withdraw the covid shots…because… the FDA is now run by ex executives of the pharmaceutical companies. This was of course all planned in advance of the plandemic…
No one has time to keep clicking next and next. I know you use this to sell ad space but l like many don’t read articles that use this method.
I can’t see the list?
Wanted to take my meds?
My mother had a heart attack and died after taking Vioxx fir months before. Sad.
Great information. I don’t believe in medical prescriptions anyway, which are nothing more than symptom relief only. Thank you for the information.
And of course the mother of all inventions, the COVID Vaccine? But this will not be pulled, perhaps it’s working as prescribed?
Pharma uses human guinea pigs to QUALITY CONTROL THE MEDS. We have become expendable.
We can blame the CDC, FDA and pharmaceutical companies and their greed for getting these on the market during 2020 covid lie they got 600 new medication passed that are really dangerous. Why don’t we put them all in prison for 30 years. No sympathy in this corner. Liers!!!
Just list the drugs, please. Keep it simple.
I did not take any of the 10 drugs mentioned.
My PCP prescribed Lisinopril. I had no DX of Diabetes or Kidney problems. Now I have been dx with Diabetes and Degenerative Kidney failure! ( a note that when ill in Togus I was over medicated with Vancamiacin and my kidneys failed. Luckly they got back to normal and now I have this diagnosis of DKF. What a joke on our health being prescribe to help High blood Pressur and get 2 other factors. What a shame on the medical field.
SO MANY REASONS NOT TO TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT, FDA, COVID, fAUCI, BIG PHARM CARES NOT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL BUT ONLY FOR THEMSELVES
EG; ZOLTERAN OINTMENT FOR PAIN AND INFLAMATION, IN THE UNITED STATES WE PAY MORE FOR 1% STRENGTH…I CAN BUY IT IN MEXICO 2.2% (MUCH BETTER) STRENGTH AND 1/2 THE PRICE……..THEY ALL HAVE SOLD OUT OUR COUNTRY!!!!
It would be nice if you put a list of 9 meds in the article.
If these drugs isn’t what we should have taken, why do you make folks jump through so many HOOPS to find out they are? That’s odd.
The article on 9 Rxs pulled from the market will not come on the screen, no matter what I try.
Drugs not listed ,,Worthless message
I took Bextra(R) many years ago and within 4 days had a total body rash and reaction. It was soon taken off the market.
Thanks for the information. I haven’t used any of these.
I took vioxx before it was recalled. For 10 years now, I live with permanent a-fib. Could that have been responsible?
No interested
With such a dire headline, it is irresponsible of you not to simply list the drugs instead of making a concerned reader slowly and awkwardly stepping through separate pages.
Thanks so much for this information. Especially because it is all to the point and not a Bla Bla Bla of a so called” Short videos” I do enormously appreciate this information.
Thanks !

1. I do not like to hit the number page so often. Why can’t we just read the articles by scrolling down?
2. So what was the issue with the #9 drug? What year did this occur? This is 2nd article I have read on this website that is painfully lacking of the pertinent data. I won’t be reading any more.
