“Talk about a
wake-up call.
I had a heart attack
at 57.”
-John E.
Lafayette, CA
Heart attack: 8/16/2007
“I should have been doing more for my high cholesterol.
I learned the hard way. Now I trust my heart to Lipitor.”
Talk to your doctor about your risk and about Lipitor.
•
When diet and exercise are not enough, adding Lipitor may help. Lipitor is FDA-approved to reduce the
risk of heart attack and stroke in patients who have heart disease or risk factors for heart disease, including
family history of early heart disease, high blood pressure, low good cholesterol, age and smoking.
#
Lipitor has been extensively studied with over 17 years of research. And Lipitor is backed by over
400 ongoing or completed clinical studies.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
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.
INDICATION:
LIPITOR is a prescription medicine that is used along
with a low-fat diet. It lowers the LDL (“bad” cholesterol)
and triglycerides in your blood. It can raise your HDL
(“good” cholesterol) as well. LIPITOR can lower the risk
for heart attack, stroke, certain types of heart surgery,
and chest pain in patients who have heart disease or risk
factors for heart disease such as age, smoking, high blood
pressure, low HDL, or family history of early heart disease.
LIPITOR can lower the risk for heart attack or stroke in
patients with diabetes and risk factors such as diabetic
eye or kidney problems, smoking, or high blood pressure.
