What Are The
Conditions Caused By Baycol? - Baycol and rhabdomyolysis
The
name for the condition thought of as Baycol muscle pain is called
Rhabdomyolysis. It is a condition where injury is caused to the kidney
by the toxic effects of the content of muscle cells. In looking at
Baycol and Rhabdomyolisys, these Baycol muscle pain side effects occur
in one in 10,000 people. Baycol is not the only cause of the disorder.
Any problems that may cause damage to skeletal muscle tissue,
particularly trauma, may possibly affect the kidney as it attempts to
remove the toxic content from the blood. The muscle tissue blocking up
the kidney, preventing it from functioning correctly, causes the damage.
The problem with Baycol and the way that Baycol causes muscle damage is
that it causes muscle myoglobin tissue to break down. The kidney itself
is effectively a filter, and so other harmful substances are able to
remain in the bloodstream as the kidney filters the myoglobin. Thus, the
kidney becomes less efficient as it suffers damage from the obstructing
muscle tissue. Thus far, 50 deaths have been attributed to Baycol and
Rhabdomyolysis allegedly causing the above described problems with
Baycol.
What are the dangers of
Baycol and Rhabdomyolysis?
The
actual problem with Baycol muscle damage is that in addition to
performing its prescribed task of blocking a specific enzyme, it also
affects other parts of the body in a harmful capacity. The main location
of bodily problems with Baycol and the cause of Baycol muscle damage was
in the muscle tissue itself. Something that escaped the research
capacity of Bayer was the discovery that Baycol forced parts of the
muscle tissue to break away from their normal location in the body and
become a part of the bloodstream. The main problem is that Myglobin, a
pigment found in this muscle, ends up in the bloodstream and must be
filtered by the kidney. The body knows that the myoglobin is harmful,
and in the same way as it attempts to remove other harmful substances,
the kidney tries to filter it. However, the Myglobin can effectively
‘block’ the kidney, causing damage. This is where Baycol and
Rhabdomyolysis disease become connected, as Rhabdomyolysis is defined as
a disorder involving injury to the kidney caused by toxic effects of the
contents of muscle cells.
What are the symptoms of a serious reaction to Baycol? - Symptoms of
Baycol muscle damage
The
major side-effect of the use of Baycol is Rhabdomyolysis. Any of the
following could be signs of a problem with Baycol and Rhabdomyolysis:
·
Muscle tenderness due to affliction by the disease
·
General weakness in the muscles
·
Stiffness in the body
·
Unexplainable fatigue
·
Abnormal urine color
·
Unintentional gain of weight
·
Joint pain
·
Trauma from loss of fluid
·
Chills and shakes
Alleged problems with Baycol, in addition to Baycol muscle damage,
include peripheral neuropathy, gastrointestinal side effects, and
unexplained allergic reactions. Peripheral neuropathy can be recognized
from the loss of feeling in the hands or feet. Gastrointestinal problems
are easy to spot, and will result in a general feeling of poor health
that would encourage a diagnosis from a doctor. Finally, allergic
reactions can be discovered if objects that were previously harmless now
result in an allergic reaction.
