Some side effects of Lipitor® may increase the risk of diabetes and other serious health complications associated with diabetes among otherwise healthy women prescribed the cholesterol drug.
Lipitor® is a member of a class of drugs known as “statins.” Statins work by preventing the liver from creating an enzyme that helps the body produce cholesterol. This helps the body reduce what is commonly referred to as “bad cholesterol.” Statins have been linked to a number of serious health complications including muscle injury, kidney problems and diabetes.
In 2012, the FDA forced label changes for Lipitor and other statins include a warning about the potential increased risk of diabetes. The warnings added by Pfizer to the prescription bottles for Lipitor® failed to completely and adequately address the increase in risk of diabetes and the importance of monitoring blood glucose levels. As a result, thousands of women may have developed diabetes after taking Lipitor®.
