Default Lipitor and third class medical

nobody wrote:


My third class medical is coming up soon and I am a little worried.
My doctor put me on Lipitor for elevated cholestrol this past year.

Will this cause any red flags, problems or require further documentation
for my third class medical?

Or will this cause no problems?

Any information is greatly appreciated!

No, you just may need an extra statement from your normal doctor saying
that you have no side effects. I take both a BP med and cholesterol med
(not Lipitor as that caused me muscle pain), and have had no problems
with my medical. I just have to take a letter each time from my normal
doctor to my AME and all is well.
