ST. LOUIS--()--The national law firm of Baron and Budd is participating in outreach to help women taking statins understand the alleged dangers associated with medications such as Lipitor, a drug prescribed to lower cholesterol.
“This is a serious risk for women who take Lipitor”
“This is a serious risk for women who take Lipitor,” said Russell Budd, president and managing shareholder of Baron and Budd. “Type 2 diabetes is a long-term and often dangerous condition that requires constant monitoring."
The serious risks associated with Type 2 diabetes include the increased likelihood for developing glaucoma and hypertension, which is high blood pressure. In particular, hypertension is a significant danger as it can lead to an increased risk for strokes, heart attacks and kidney disease. Patients who develop Type 2 diabetes must also commit themselves to a routine of consistently monitoring blood sugar levels and watching diet and exercise, all disciplines that are significantly trying for many people. Unfortunately, Type 2 diabetes is a long-term condition and there is no cure, so patients must watch their diets and monitor their blood sugar levels for the rest of their lives – even if the development of the disease came from the use of a statin drug such as Lipitor.
The Lipitor lawyers at Baron and Budd are now reviewing claims involving women who took Lipitor, had a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 or under and developed diabetes. You may be eligible to file a Lipitor lawsuit for no up-front cost. For a free and confidential evaluation of your potential case, please call us at 1.866.844.4556 or email us at info@baronbudd.com.
