Lipitor, it seems, is not as safe as American medicine would have hoped.

statin for
those patients with alleged high cholesterol problems.
Does it help saves lives? Maybe. The jury is still out on the role

More and more evidence; however, is mounting which links Pfizer’s

Memory loss is the second most common side effect seen in people

risk.
