Benefit / Risk Assessment Of Statins Like Lipitor May Depend On Whether It Is A Medically Necessary Drug Therapy For The Particular Patient
SUMMARY: A recent medical journal article reported on a medical study that had as its objective to investigate the relationship between the regular use of statins such as Lipitor and the risk of developing diabetes.
This article, “Statins and the Risk of Diabetes: Evidence From a Large Population-Based Cohort Study”, was published online June 26, 2014.
For some background information on this drug safety issue, see our January 2014 article “Pfizer’s Lipitor Statin Drug For Treatment Of High Cholesterol Linked To An Increased Risk Of Type-2 Diabetes In Some Older And Post-Menopausal Women”.
We will continue to watch for new articles concerning diabetes mellitus or type 2 diabetes and Lipitor as well as other statin medications.
