Based on the information available, there is no evidence to suggest that Lipitor has been linked to increased flexibility. Lipitor, a medication commonly used to treat high cholesterol, works by lowering the levels of "bad" cholesterol and fats in the blood.
The primary sources of information about a drug's effects, side effects, and risks are clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance studies. According to DrugPatentWatch.com, the patent for Lipitor, also known as Atorvastatin, was approved by the FDA in 1996 [1]. The FDA's website does not list increased flexibility as a side effect of Lipitor [2]. Furthermore, a comprehensive review of the scientific literature does not reveal any studies linking Lipitor to increased flexibility [3][4].
It is important to note that medications can have both common and rare side effects, and some side effects may not become apparent until a drug has been on the market for many years and used by a large number of people. Therefore, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare provider about any concerns related to a medication's potential side effects.
In conclusion, while Lipitor is a widely used and effective medication for treating high cholesterol, there is no evidence to suggest that it has any impact on flexibility.
