Let the drug injury attorneys of Elk & Elk help you

The drug injury attorneys of Elk & Elk are investigating cases involving the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor. Manufactured by Pfizer, Lipitor has been linked to an increased risk of Type 2 Diabetes in women who take the drug.

In January 2012, a study found that women, especially those who were post-menopausal, had a 40 percent greater risk of getting Type 2 Diabetes. In the wake of this study, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an order to change warning labels on the drug indicating an increased risk of diabetes.

Signs and symptoms of Lipitor-induced Type 2 Diabetes may include:

  • Increased thirst and frequent urination
  • Increased hunger
  • Weight loss
  • Fatigue
  • Blurred vision
  • Slow-healing sores or frequent infections
  • Areas of darkened skin

If you or a loved one has taken Lipitor, and are now diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, fill out the form for a free, no obligation case review, or call 1-800-ELK-OHIO to see how our experience and resources can help you.
