FDA Cautions Statin Users on Side Effects

FDA Cautions Statin Users on Side Effects

U.S. health regulators are adding warnings to the labels of widely used cholesterol lowering drugs, such as Lipitor, to say they may raise levels of blood sugar and could cause memory loss.


The Food and Drug Administration announced on Tuesday the changes to the safety information on the labels of statins such as Pfizer Inc's Lipitor, AstraZeneca's Crestor and Merck & Co's Zocor that are taken by tens of millions of people.

I was prescribed a statin drug and refused to take it. The doctors did everything they could to push it.

If benefits far out weigh the side effects how come the script written for these drug commercials speak more to the side effects than the benefits aaaaand in some cases being fatal.

Now it causes memory loss! What are these drugs doing in the elder years.

This has been a story I've been screaming about at Culture Shock.
