Pfizer Sued For False Lipitor Claims

Last month, Lipitor was found to be no better than other cholesterol drug on the market, and it may have actually worse side effects to boot.

Lipitor is one of the best drugs on the market -- from Pfizer's perspective, not yours. Marketed brilliantly by Pfizer, you'll pay thousands of dollars a year for the rest of your life for useless drugs like Lipitor until you die prematurely from their side effects. But not quickly enough to ruin their annuity on collecting monthly refill bills from you and/or your insurance company.

All the while, Pfizer is earning $11 billion a year from the drug, despite a lack of proof it actually helps patients. So you can understand why Pfizer will fight tooth-and-nail to protect its major cash cow.

And meanwhile, what's the FDA's reaction to the growing evidence that Lipitor is useless and dangerous? They approved Lipitor for wider use to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack for diabetics. This is unbelievable in light of the fact that Lipitor could double the risk of a deadly stroke for diabetics!
