In early 2008, scientist, researcher and entrepreneur Robert Jarvik drew criticism for his endorsement of the popular cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor.
-
Fast Facts
- Jarvik was reportedly paid $1.35 million for appearing in the Lipitor ads
- On February 25, 2008 Lipitor's manufacturer, Pfizer pulled the ads
- Physical tasks attributed to Jarvik were actually performed by a body double
- Jarvik assisted in the development of the Jarvik-7 artificial heart
- Jarvik received the first artificial heart transplant in 1982
-
Controversy
In one of the ads, Jarvik says, "Lipitor is one of the most researched medicines. I'm glad I take Lipitor, as a doctor, and a dad." Although Jarvik completed medical school, he did not complete a medical internship, meaning he is not licensed to prescribe medications. U.S. Congress is conducting an investigation to determine whether the Lipitor commercials constitute medical advice given without a license. -
