See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lipitor
The use of Lipitor, a statin medication used to treat high cholesterol, has been associated with a small risk of a serious side effect known as muscle inflammation or myopathy, which can lead to a more severe condition called rhabdomyolysis [1]. However, there is no specific information available regarding the risks of spinal cord injuries or inversions associated with Lipitor use.
It is important to note that the risk of developing muscle-related side effects from Lipitor appears to be low, and may be more likely to occur in patients with certain factors such as kidney or liver disease, advanced age, or those taking certain other medications [1]. Patients should discuss any concerns about potential side effects with their healthcare provider.
In addition, it is always recommended to follow the instructions provided by the healthcare provider and the medication's label when taking any medication, including Lipitor.
