Lipitor\u00ae – known generically as atorvastatin – is prescribed to reduce \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol and triglycerides.

The FDA<\/a> approved Lipitor\u00ae in 1996, and more than 29 million people have been prescribed the medication since that time.<\/p>\n The drug is still on the market today, although there have been reported issues with other statins causing diabetes. A drug called Baycol, for example, was taken off the market in 2001 because it increased the likelihood of diabetes.<\/p>\n A 2008 study published in The Lancet first reported that statins like Lipitor\u00ae could increase the risk of diabetes by 9 percent. Despite this information, there was no warning label put on the medication.<\/p>\n A 2015 study of Lipitor\u00ae specifically revealed that the drug increased the likelihood of type 2 diabetes by 46 percent in the patients studied – but only recently has Pfizer placed warnings on its medication.<\/p>\n Claimants allege that because Pfizer did not issue warning labels on its medications, they developed long-term health conditions. If you or a loved one has developed type 2 diabetes after taking Lipitor\u00ae to control cholesterol, you can recover compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.<\/p>\n Releasing Lipitor\u00ae without sufficient warning labels isn\u2019t Pfizer\u2019s first legal battle. Per the U.S. Department of Justice<\/a>, in 2009, Pfizer paid billions after falsely advertising Bextra, which was pulled from the market in 2005.<\/p>\n The FDA declined to approve the product. However, Pfizer marketed the drug as being safe for off-label use. It was ordered to pay $1.3 billion in damages after being found guilty of felony charges.<\/p>\n We know that it\u2019s intimidating to go up against a multi-billion-dollar company. That\u2019s where our South Carolina Lipitor\u00ae lawyers come in. We have no problem staring down mega-corporations – and we\u2019ve done so successfully in the past.
