Lipitor ad by Pfizer: 

"That means in a large clinical study, 3% of patients taking a sugar pill or placebo had a heart attack compared to 2% of patients taking Lipitor." Now do some simple math. The numbers in that sentence mean that for every 100 people in the trial study, which lasted three years, three people on placebos and two people on Lipitor had heart attacks. The difference credited tot he drug? There was one fewer heart attack per 100 people. 99 people had to take Lipitor for three years without measurable benefit. If people with no prior heart disease were told that only 1 in 100 is likely to benefit from taking statin drugs for years, most people would probably choose to opt out.

Do you know that one of the common causes of neuropathy (peripheral neuropathy) in people is the use of Lipitor? You should search out other options or at least another drug.

Statin Drugs, Their Side Effects, and Improvement

English:

A 2008 research paper cites nearly 900 studies on the adverse side effects of statin drugs, used to treat cholesterol. Muscle problems are the best known of statin drugs’ side effects, but cognitive (thinking and reasoning) problems and pain and numbness in the extremities (peripheral neuropathy)are also widely reported.

The Rebuilder strument, which we use in our office, and chiropractic care helps nerves in improving this condition.
