Pfizer has denied liability after an increase in lawsuits alleging the company was aware of a possible risk of type-2 diabetes from its popular anti-cholesterol drug Lipitor, according to Reuters.
The Food and Drug Administration warned in 2012 that Lipitor and other statins were linked to incidents of memory loss and a “small increased risk” of diabetes. Reuters’ review of federal court filings shows lawsuits by women who say taking Lipitor gave them type-2 diabetes rose from 56 to nearly 1,000 in the past five months.
