Houston, Texas (PRWEB) June 04, 2013
The law firm of D. Miller & Associates reports that the very first lawsuits against Lipitor manufacturer Pfizer, Inc. have been filed in the United States, and a multidistrict litigation has been authorized for these Lipitor lawsuit instances by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML).

“A lot of men and females in the United States have been prescribed Lipitor to combat high cholesterol,” notes the firm’s lead attorney Darren Miller. “But girls have incurred a fantastic unknown threat by taking the drug: the development of Sort two Diabetes.”

A study completed in conjunction with the Womens Health Initiative (WHI) in 2012, found a link among the statin class of cholesterol-lowering drugs, like Lipitor, and the improvement of Type two Diabetes in womenspecifically post-menopausal women. (Culver AL, Ockene IS, Balasubramanian R, et al. “Statin Use and Risk of Diabetes Mellitus in Postmenopausal Ladies in the Women’s Well being Initiative.” Archives of Internal Medicine, 2012,172(two): pp.144-152.).

Miller points out that statin drugs are usually prescribed to reduced low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or poor cholesterol levels. Lipitor is one of the best sellers in the cholesterol drug industry, bringing in virtually $ four billion in revenues for Pfizer, Inc. in 2012, according to the companys annual report (pfizer.com/files/annualreport/2012/economic/financial2012.pdf).

The U.S. Meals and Drug Administration became aware of a prospective issue with Lipitor and in February of 2012 needed labeling modifications for the solution, to contain critical new security details, which includes the enhanced threat of creating Variety two Diabetes in ladies soon after taking the drug (fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm293330.htm).

“Though the FDAs warning was useful, it may have been too tiny too late for several female shoppers,” says Lipitor lawyer Miller. “Diabetes is a lifelong illness that can outcome in a lot of further complications and needed way of life modifications, including strict diet program restrictions, every day blood testing and prescription medicines. It is not a illness that ought to be taken lightly, and these customers deserve compensation for a threat they were not created conscious of by the drug manufacturer.”

These potentially eligible for compensation are post-menopausal girls who have developed Sort 2 diabetes right after taking Lipitor, he adds. “D. Miller & Associates, PLLC is ready to assist these harmed by this drug in obtaining the relief they rightly deserve.”
