Baron and Budd Warns Women that Their Type 2 Diabetes Could Have Been Caused by Lipitor
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 10, 2013 -- The national law firm Baron and Budd warns women that their type 2 diabetes may have been caused by use of the statin drug Lipitor instead of their lifestyle or other factors like genetics. Many women developed type 2 diabetes after taking Lipitor even though they had no familial history or other risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes.
The British Medical Journal released a study in May 2013 that indicates that patients who take statin drugs such as Lipitor may have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to other drugs in its class such as lovastatin or fluvastatin. The statin drug Lipitor was shown to increase the patient’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes regardless of the patient’s use of additional prevention methods for cardiovascular issues such as heart attacks.

“There is sometimes a stigma attached to adults who develop diabetes later in life,” said Russell Budd of Baron and Budd. “Some women who developed type 2 diabetes while taking Lipitor may feel as if they are to blame. However, if you developed type 2 diabetes while taking Lipitor, there is a high likelihood that Lipitor is to blame.”
Women who developed type 2 diabetes after taking Lipitor are encouraged to call the Lipitor lawyers at Baron and Budd for a free and confidential study of their potential case.
