FDA OKs Pfizer's Lipitor for use in diabetics

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc. said on Tuesday U.S. regulators have approved its blockbuster cholesterol drug Lipitor to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack in diabetic patients.

Pfizer said the approval is for patients with type 2, or adult onset, diabetes who have no signs of heart disease but have multiple risk factors for the condition.

Common risk factors include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, smoking and obesity.

Re: FDA OKs Pfizer's Lipitor for use in diabetics

Actually when my dad went to the cardiologist about 6months ago, I was waiting in the reception area for him and an elderly woman was telling me how her Dr. put her on it and it screwed up her heart beats (lowered )to the point where they had to put a pacemaker in her chest. She related it to the Lipitor, but the drs didn't want to except that it was the Lipitor that did it.
