Was there a problem with taking Baycol and Gemfibrozil together?

Yes -- together they can increase the risk of Rhabdomyolysis. Gemfibrozil (often sold as Lopid) is a lipid regulating agent. Gemfibrozil is used with diet changes (restriction of cholesterol and fat intake) to reduce the amount of cholesterol and certain fatty substances in your blood.

Accumulation of cholesterol and fats along the walls of your arteries (a process known as atherosclerosis) decreases blood flow and therefore, the oxygen supply to your heart, brain, and other parts of your body. Lowering your blood level of cholesterol and fats may help to prevent heart disease, angina (chest pain), strokes, and heart attacks. Together, the drugs caused a breakdown of the myoglobin which harmed the ability of the kidneys to function.

When did they discover that you should not take Baycol and Lopid together? Lopid alone was not a problem, but when the combination of Baycol and Lopid was prescribed, Rhabdomyolysis problems occurred even more frequently. Gemfibrozil and Baycol were taken ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
