Baycol (cerivastatin, sold as Lipobay in Europe, Bayer) is a statin, a class of cholesterol-lower drugs. Statins are the most prescribed drugs in the United States, with more than 12 million people taking them, and more than 700,000 people in the United States taking cerivastatin. It received marketing approval on June 26, 1997 and was voluntarily removed from the market on August 8, 2001 because of its link to 100 deaths and several injuries from potentially the muscle disease rhabdomyolysis.

A number of cholesterol-lowering drugs (Pravachol, zocor, and mevacor) are prepared by enzymatic processes. Penicillin antibiotics that have been on the market for decades are produced in large quantities by the enzymatic process. [Pg.245]

The most important class of cholesterol-lowering agents is the statins. These include lovastatin (Mevacor), simvastatin (Zocor), pravastatin (Pravachol), and atorvastatin (Lipitor), among others. These molecules work, in modest part, by inhibiting biosynthesis of cholesterol and, in larger part, by increasing the rate at which cholesterol is eliminated by the body. Let s have a look at this in more detail. [Pg.268]

Pravachol appeared to increase adherence, Lipitor s DTCA efforts appear to have had a negative impact. Further analysis suggested that the unexpected finding for Lipitor stemmed from the FDA s requirement that DTCA television advertisements must mention the most common side effects. She reasoned that television advertisements make side effects more salient than does print advertising. Professional actors in the first television ads for Lipitor prominently mentioned side effects of possible liver problems and muscular pain, a task that is usually carried out less prominently and is reserved for unobserved narrators. Discussions Wosinska had with industry analysts suggested that the prominent side effects mentioned in the Lipitor ads may have made patients more anxious, and that it may have affected their adherence.
