What Our Clients Are Saying

Serious Chronic Illness

Woman with a headache

Despite being one of the best selling drugs of all time, research has shown that the risk of developing diabetes from Lipitor is even higher in women. This applies to women without pre-existing risk factors such as obesity, high blood sugar, or a family history of diabetes.

Medical studies have shown women between the ages of 50-70 who took Lipitor are nearly half as likely to develop diabetes.

There are many complications associated with diabetes including but not limited to:

  • Heart attacks
  • Stroke
  • Liver damage
  • Kidney failure

Lipitor Side Effects

Heart diagram

Irreversible side effects with life-threatening consequences have been linked to Lipitor, a statin drug prescribed to treat high cholesterol. Statin drugs make up a significant portion of all prescriptions filled in the U.S. each year.

Like all statins, Lipitor helps lower cholesterol levels in the blood. However, medical researchers have recently discovered new risks associated with the drug.

Side effects from a Lipitor prescription include:

  • Severe muscle pain
  • Nerve damage
  • Memory loss
  • Brain and central nervous system issues

Some statins have allegedly been linked to an increased risk of cardiomyopathy, a serious weakening of the heart muscle or a change in the structure of the heart muscle. Cardiomyopathy is associated with the heart’s inability to pump blood adequately and other problems related to the function of the heart.

Due to an increased risk of adverse side effects on the fetus, women who are pregnant are also cautioned against using statins.

Lipitor FDA Warning

Boxes of pills

In 2012, after various studies suggested a link between the cholesterol-lowering drugs and Type 2 diabetes, the Food & Drug Administration announced that it would be changing the labels for all statin drugs.

As a result, other pharmaceutical manufacturers were also required to abide by these new guidelines. Have you or your loved one been injured by Lipitor? Have you been diagnosed with diabetes while taking Lipitor? If so, the manufacturer may have failed in its duty to alert consumers like you of the risks associated with the product.

Lipitor Lawsuits

Lipitor Pills

Understanding that this medication can have a significant effect on peoples health worried many people, particularly women.

In lawsuits being filed, the makers of Lipitor are accused of aggressive and misleading marketing despite knowing about the increased diabetes risk.

Furthermore, the manufacturers are accused of failing to issue warnings on the drug’s label until after the FDA intervened in 2012.
