Watch the LIPITOR TV Commercials
If you have high cholesterol, don’t kid yourself. You may be at risk of having a heart attack. About every 34 seconds in the US, someone has a heart attack. 80% of people who have had a heart attack have high cholesterol.
Watch the commercials. Talk to your doctor about your risk and LIPITOR.
LIPITOR is not for everyone. It is not for those with liver problems. And it is not for women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant.
If you take LIPITOR, tell your doctor if you feel any new muscle pain or weakness. This could be a sign of rare but serious muscle side effects. Tell your doctor about all medications you take. This may help avoid serious drug interactions. Your doctor should do blood tests to check your liver function before and during treatment and may adjust your dose.
Common side effects are diarrhea, upset stomach, muscle and joint pain, and changes in some blood tests.
